The Minnesota Twins have added to their roster on Wednesday.
They claimed Vidal Brujan off waivers from the Atlanta Braves, according to The Athletic's Dan Hayes.
Brujan was once a top-100 prospect in the Tampa Bay Rays' organization.
Now, he's a utility infielder.

Brujan is now 27 years old, and he hit.253 in 87 at bats in the 2025 season split between the Cubs, Orioles and Braves.
He had played his first three MLB seasons with the Rays, then spent 2024 with the Marlins.
In all, Brujan is just a.199 hitter at the MLB level.
His main appeal at this point is versatility.
Brujan has played first base, second base, shortstop, third base, left field, right field and centerfield in the major leagues.
But is that enough to make up for a career OPS of.543? Probably not.

He's the type of player that is useful to have around just in case of emergency, because he can fill in anywhere you need him.
But at this point, it'd be a surprise to see Brujan turn his bat into a contributing piece.
The Twins had to designate Mickey Gasper for assignment to clear space for Brujan. That puts Gasper on waivers, and if he clears, he can stay in the Twins' system. Gasper is a versatile player himself, capable of catching and playing the infield.
This is just Minnesota trying to make the most of the fringes of its roster.
