Braves' Waiver Claim Handley Has Been Hurt Most of 2026
Maverick Handley, acquired via waiver claim from Baltimore, has spent much of the current season dealing with injury and has been largely unavailable.
The Braves claimed catcher Maverick Handley off waivers from the Orioles during the 2026 season. Handley has been injured for much of the year, limiting his availability and contribution to the roster. His status represents a failed depth addition for Atlanta's catching corps.
