Athletics selected the contract of INF Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Las Vegas.

The 26-year-old infielder joined the Athletics last week on a minor league pact after being released by the Yankees. He has hit an impressive .311/.378/.505 with 11 homers, 46 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 308 plate appearances at the Triple-A level this season. If he works his way into regular playing time with the A’s, he could carve out some value in deeper mixed leagues.

Athletics signed INF Jonathan Ornelas to a minor league contract

Ornelas was released by the Yankees on July 16th after hitting .299/.362/.480 with nine home runs, 39 RBI, and nine steals in 75 games at Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes/Barre. He almost certainly had an upward mobility clause or an opt-out in his deal. The Athletics, who have been ravaged by injuries, likely present a better chance for the 26-year-old to get some MLB at-bats.

Yankees reassigned OFs Yanquiel Fernández and Duke Ellis, INFs Jonathan Ornelas and Zack Short, INF/OF Ernesto Martínez Jr. and C Miguel Palma to minor league camp.

Fernández is the highest-profile inclusion among the latest batch of cuts from Yankees camp after being claimed off waivers from the Rockies earlier in the offseason. Ornelas and Short figure to stick around as emergency stopgap options for New York in case injuries take a toll on their infield depth.

Yankees signed INF Jonathan Ornelas to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Ornelas, 25, was outrighted off the 40-man roster by Atlanta at the end of September. The 2018 third-round pick was an intriguing prospect at one point, but now is more organizational depth than anyone to pay attention to in fantasy circles.

Braves sent INF Jonathan Ornelas outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Ornelas went unclaimed on waivers after being dropped from Atlanta’s 40-man roster back in mid-September. The 25-year-old infielder got into six games this season between the Braves and Rangers. He’s merely organizational depth at this stage of his development.

Braves designated SS Jonathan Ornelas for assignment.

The 25-year-old Ornelas, who was picked up from the Rangers in May, got into only two games for the Braves, going 2-for-4. He’s hit .196/.295/303 in 115 games in Triple-A, continuing an unfortunate trend; he had a .728 OPS in 2023 in his first year in Triple-A, a .648 OPS last year at the level and now a .598 OPS this season.

Braves optioned INF Jonathan Ornelas to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Ornelas returns to the minors to make room for newly added utility specialist Vidal Bruján, who was claimed off waivers from the Orioles earlier this week. The 25-year-old went 2-for-4 in his lone game with Atlanta this season.

Braves claimed INF Vidal Bruján off waivers from the Orioles.

There hadn’t been any word that Bruján was on waivers, but it looks like the Orioles cut him to open up a spot for Ryan Mountcastle. Bruján had just been claimed from the Cubs on Sunday and went 1-for-1 as an Oriole. He’ll probably take the place of Jonathan Ornelas on the Braves bench and could see a fair amount of time at third base with Austin Riley out.

Braves recalled INF Jonathan Ornelas from Triple-A Gwinnett.

With Jared Kelenic sent down after Sunday’s game, Ornelas will be called up to take his place. Ornelas is hitting just .202 in 79 Triple-A games this season with six home runs and six steals, so he can be ignored in fantasy leagues.
