The Atlanta Braves made their final move with right-handed pitcher Ian Anderson on Thursday but saw the New York Yankees claim one of their outfielders.

De La Cruz, 28, will now provide the Yankees with more experienced outfield depth as they continue their season. The 6-foot-1 outfielder appeared in 16 games with the Braves this season, posting zero home runs, one double, one stolen base, and a .191 batting average.

The Yankees claimed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz off waivers from the Braves, optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and transferred DH/outfielder Giancarlo Stanton to the 60-day injured list on Thursday.

After a horrid start to the 2025 season, the Atlanta Braves have seriously picked themselves back up over the last few weeks. The Braves are 7-3 in their last 10 games, going from last to third place in the NL East with a 14-16 record.

The Colorado Rockies ended an eight-game losing streak as Brenton Doyle hit a tiebreaking home run off reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale in the third inning of a 2-1 win over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.
