Braves' Lucas Luetge: Loses 40-man roster spot

Luetge was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Monday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The team needed to clear a spot on the 40-man and 26-man rosters for the addition of Pierce Johnson. It's the second time since late May that Luetge has been removed from the 40-man roster. If he clears waivers, he has the ability to elect free agency.
