Also on Friday, the Braves optioned infielder Cavan Biggio to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Biggio, 29, is 1-for-5 during four games with the Braves this season. He also has competed with the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers this season.

The son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio showed promise as a rookie with 16 homers, 48 RBIs and 14 steals in 100 games in 2019. He finished fifth in American League Rookie of the Year balloting.

But he’s since failed to reach double digits in homers or even had as many as 70 hits in a season. Biggio has a .225 career average with 51 homers and 186 RBIs in 524 career games.

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto is going to try and land a contract worth north of $500M this offseason and after putting up a career high in homers (40 and counting) while slashing .287/.417/.576, so far this year, he’s likely to get the dollar amount he demands.

When he went yard in Seattle on Tuesday, Soto achieved the feat of homering in every MLB ballpark — at the age of 25. However, despite his brilliance on the diamond, he revealed a possible flaw in his mentality when he talked about his accomplishment:

“It’s one of the goals I’ve really put [thought] into in my career,” Soto said, per the New York Post’s Greg Joyce. “When I got to this year, being in the American League now, I was like, ‘I have a really good chance to do it.’ So right when I hit it, I was like,

‘Oh finally, I got the last one.’”
