Chapman was claimed off waivers by the Braves from the Astros on Monday.

The Braves didn't need to make a corresponding move on the 40-man roster because they already had an open spot. The southpaw has a 4.09 career ERA across 55 major league innings, but he hasn't exceeded 10 innings in either of the past two seasons. The 28-year-old is out of options, so the Braves will either need to carry him on their Opening Day roster or once again expose him to waivers and hope they can send him to the minors.
