Braves' Vidal Brujan: Removed from 40-man roster

Atlanta designated Brujan for assignment Thursday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Ken Waldichuk, who was claimed off waivers. Brujan has a lackluster .199/.267/.276 career batting line across parts of five big-league seasons, but he could draw interest on waivers due to his defensive versatility.
