The Minnesota Twins have claimed infielder Vidal Bruján off waivers from the Atlanta Braves

3 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Claimed off waivers by Twins The Twins claimed Brujan off waivers from Atlanta on Wednesday, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brujan has yet to show much of anything offensively at the major-league level, slashing .199/.267/.276 across parts of five seasons. He is able to play all over the diamond, giving the Twins defensive versatility off the bench.

Removed from 40-man roster Atlanta designated Brujan for assignment Thursday.

Impact The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Ken Waldichuk, who was claimed off waivers. Brujan has a lackluster .199/.267/.276 career batting line across parts of five big-league seasons, but he could draw interest on waivers due to his defensive versatility.

Re-signs to split contract Brujan (hip) signed a one-year split contract with Atlanta on Thursday.

Impact The split contract is a minor-league deal that will allow Brujan to get a higher salary whenever he's on the major-league roster. The utility man had been a non-tender candidate prior to agreeing to the contract Thursday. Brujan ended the 2025 campaign dealing with a hip injury, but it isn't expected to linger into spring training.

On bench for season finale Brujan (hip) is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.

Impact Brujan hasn't appeared in a game since Sept. 21 after leaving the contest with right hip tightness. It's unclear if the injury remains an issue or if he simply hasn't been needed on the field. Assuming he doesn't enter Sunday's contest, the 27-year-old will finish the year with a .253/.305/.310 slash line in 95 plate appearances spanning stints with Atlanta, the Orioles and the Cubs.

Still idle Brujan (hip) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Pittsburgh.

Impact Brujan was lifted from Sunday's game with a right hip injury and hasn't appeared in a game since. It's unclear if the utility player is still dealing with the injury, as he isn't a regular in Atlanta's lineup. He has taken 11 at-bats in September.

Exits with hip injury Brujan was removed from Sunday's game against the Tigers with a right hip impingement.

Impact Brujan, who picked up a start at third base Sunday, went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored prior to exiting and being replaced by Luke Williams. Given that Brujan rarely starts (eight at-bats this month prior to Sunday), he may not return as soon as he's healthy, but we can consider him day-to-day for now.

Moves back to bench role Brujan is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.

Impact Brujan made three starts over a five-game stretch from last Saturday through Thursday, but he wasn't included in the lineup at any point during the three-game series in Cleveland after Ronald Acuna (calf) made his return from the injured list. So long as Atlanta's regular outfield trio of Acuna, Michael Harris and Jurickson Profar remains healthy, Brujan will likely be in line for sporadic playing time.
