Braves released C Maverick Handley.

The 28-year-old backstop was claimed off of waivers from the Orioles back in May. He wound up playing in just five games at Triple-A Gwinnett, hitting .313 (5-for-16) with a pair of RBI. There’s always a need for catching depth around the league, so Handley shouldn’t be out of work for long.

Orioles released INF Thairo Estrada; reassigned C Maverick Handley and 1B/OF Jhonkensky Noel to minor league camp.

Estrada was granted his release to pursue opportunities elsewhere after opting out of his minor league deal with the Orioles. The 30-year-old veteran was limited to just 39 games with the Rockies last year due to injury. There was a chance for him to make the club’s season-opening roster with both Jackson Holliday (wrist) and Jordan Westburg (elbow) getting hurt during spring training.
