Braves' John Nogowski: Headed to Atlanta

Nogowski was selected by Atlanta in the first round of the 2021 Rule 5 draft Wednesday, JJ Cooper of Baseball America reports.

Nogowski made 52 major-league appearances during the 2021 campaign and hit .233 with a home run, 14 runs and 14 RBI. He inked a minor-league deal with the Giants in late September but will now attempt to carve out a role with Atlanta this spring.
