Braves' Jack Mayfield: Claimed by Atlanta

Mayfield was claimed off waivers by the Braves on Friday.

The 30-year-old was designated for assignment by the Astros earlier in the week, and the Braves opted to scoop him up off waivers. Mayfield appeared in 47 games over the past two seasons and had a .170/.198/.283 slash line with two homers and 30 strikeouts in 112 plate appearances.
