Braves released C Curt Casali.

Casali was signed in the middle of January as a non-roster invite, but the 36-year-old didn’t do enough to make the roster even with Sean Murphy (ribs) picking up an injury. Casali will likely see interest from other clubs on a minor-league deal.

Braves signed C Curt Casali to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 36-year-old veteran backstop will add some quality depth behind the dish for the Braves. Casali really struggled in his big league action with the Giants in 2024, slashing a cringe-inducing .194/.293/.250 with one homer, eight RBI and a 22/13 K/BB ratio over 125 plate appearances. He can continue to be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Patrick Bailey (side) remains out of the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the White Sox.

Bailey will sit out his second straight contest on Tuesday evening due to minor right side tightness with veteran Curt Casali handling the catching duties. The 25-year-old backstop is headed for an MRI on his right side to rule out anything more serious. There should be an update on his status at some point in the coming days.

Patrick Bailey was scratched from Monday’s lineup because of right side tightness.

Curt Casali is starting in his place. If this turns out to be more than a day-to-day injury, the Giants will likely recall Jakson Reetz, unless maybe they’re feeling better about Blake Sabol’s defense of late.

Giants signed C Curt Casali to a one-year contract.

It’s a big league deal for Casali and the 35-year-old backstop will immediately join the Giants’ roster with Jakson Reetz heading to Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move. With Patrick Bailey and Tom Murphy both sidelined, Casali will share the load behind the plate with Blake Sabol.

Cubs signed C Curt Casali to a minor league contract.

The 35-year-old spent Spring Training with the Marlins but didn’t make the 40-man roster and was granted his release. Casali has struggled offensive slashing .201/.311/.315 over the past three seasons. He spent last season with the Reds where he had a .175 batting average across 96 plate appearances — his worst average since his first season in the majors with the Rays in 2014.

Marlins released C Curt Casali, according to Daniel Álvarez-Montes of El Extra Base.

The Marlins will have start the season with Christian Bethancourt and Nick Fortes as the primary backstops. Casali, 35, is a career .220 AVG hitter across 1,454 plate appearances so it’s not a shock the Marlins decided to cut ties before Opening Day.

Marlins signed C Curt Casali to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

The 35-year-old backstop hit free agency after the Reds declined his $2.5 million option for the 2024 season. Casali provides strong veteran leadership and has long been lauded for his ability to handle a pitching staff, but his bat leaves much to be desired — as he’s a career .220/.314/.380 hitter over 1454 plate appearances. It’s a nice depth move for the Fish, but he can be avoided entirely for fantasy purposes.
