The Atlanta Braves and left-hander Angel Perdomo have agreed to a one-year, non-guaranteed split contract for the 2024 season. The club claimed the southpaw off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates last month but he will miss the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October. The contract ensures he remains within the organization after he tossed a healthy 3.72 ERA across 30 appearances with the Pirates in the 2023 season. He also impressed with a 3.18 ERA across 20 appearances at the Triple-A level a season ago. The 29-year-old has logged 52 career big-league appearances in parts of three seasons, working to a 5.55 ERA in that time but his 4.39 FIP, 3.65 SIERA, and massive 35.8% K%, albeit alongside a 15.8% BB%, are far more encouraging.

The Atlanta Braves claimed relief pitcher Angel Perdomo (elbow) off waivers from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday after he underwent Tommy John surgery on Oct. 6. Perdomo will now miss all of the 2024 season after he had a 3.72 ERA (3.01 FIP) and 1.10 WHIP with 11 walks and a career-high 44 strikeouts in 29 relief innings for the Pirates in his third major-league season. The 29-year-old southpaw will remain in Atlanta's organization for now. In his three major-league seasons (two with the Milwaukee Brewers), Perdomo has a 5.55 ERA (4.39 FIP), 1.44 WHIP, 34 walks and 77 strikeouts in 48 2/3 relief innings over 52 appearances out of the bullpen.
