OF Matt Tuiasosopo returned to the majors Monday, when the Braves purchased his contract from Triple-A Gwinnett prior to a 4-1 loss to the Mets. Tuiasosopo last appeared in the bigs Sept. 29, 2013, when he was a member of the Detroit Tigers. He split the 2014 season with the Triple-A affiliates of the Toronto Blue Jays and Chicago White Sox before spending 2015 in Triple-A with the White Sox. Tuiasosopo signed with the Braves last November and batted .218 with four homers and 13 RBIs in 25 games for Gwinnett. He is a lifetime .207 hitter with 12 homers and 45 RBIs in 152 major league games dating back to 2008.

Sun Apr 5 201511:12The White Sox signed Tuiasosopo to minor league deal Friday
The White Sox signed Tuiasosopo to a minor league deal Friday, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Tuiasosopo played 63 games for Triple-A Charlotte in 2014, and he should spend much of 2015 at that location as well. It would take quite a few injuries on the MLB roster for him to grab a bench role in Chicago.
Wed Apr 1 201514:44Tuiasosopo released by Orioles on Wednesday
Tuiasosopo was released by the Orioles on Wednesday, Steve Melewski of MASN Sports reports.
Tuiasosopo was likely to begin the season with Baltimore in Triple-A had he stayed with the organization, but he'll instead have to pursue other opportunities at the Triple-A level. The outfielder last appeared in the majors in 2013 and is unlikely to have much of an impact in the big leagues wherever he lands.
Tue Mar 17 201501:03Tuiasosopo sent to Baltimore's minor league camp Sunday
Tuiasosopo was sent to Baltimore's minor league camp Sunday, MASN Sports reports.
Tuiasosopo went 0-for-11 this spring, so it came as no surprise that he was sent down. The Orioles do not have everything figured out in their outfield, but Tuiasosopo is buried on the depth behind a number of players. He figures to begin the season at Triple-A, but Tuiasosopo likely serves as organizational depth.

Blue Jays sent OF Matt Tuiasosopo outright to Triple-A Buffalo.
The 27-year-old was waived by the Diamondbacks while with the team in Australia, and faced the same fate with the Jays after not having enough time in camp to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster. He'll serve as organizational depth, but should get a chance with the big league club at some point in 2014.

The Blue Jays released left-hander Luis Perez in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster. Tuiasosopo hit .244/.351/.415 with seven homers in 191 plate appearances with the Tigers last season and could hang on as a utility player with Toronto.

Matt Tuiasosopo went 1-for-2 with a double as the Diamondbacks were blanked by the Rockies in Cactus League play on Friday.
The veteran outfielder who has shown the ability to mash against left-handed pitching should be able to find a reserve role with the Snakes this season. Tuiasosopo smashed seven homers and drove home 30 runs in just 164 at-bats with the Tigers in 2013.

Mon Jul 8 201323:34Matt Tuiasosopo homers against Indians
Matt Tuiasosopo homered in one of his two at-bats Monday in his first action since coming off the DL.
Tuiasosopo was activated on Thursday, but he didn't appear in a game until drawing the start tonight. Even tonight, he had just the two plate appearances before being removed for Andy Dirks. Manager Jim Leyland seems to have very little faith in him against right-handers, even though he's gone 9-for-27 with two homers versus righties this season. It'd make a lot of sense to give him a longer look.
