Braves signed RHP Tyler LaPorte to a minor league contract.
LaPorte, 27, went undrafted out of college and has spent the last four seasons bouncing around the independent leagues. In 2024, he compiled a 3.03 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and a 52/15 K/BB ratio over 35 2/3 innings in 39 appearances for the Windy City Thunderbolts in the Frontier League. He’ll add minor league bullpen depth for the Braves.
