Heredia agreed to a contract with the SSG Landers of the Korea Baseball Organization on Tuesday, Francys Romero of beisbolfr.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Heredia was designated for assignment by Atlanta last week and has opted to continue his career overseas. The 31-year-old appeared in 74 games in 2022 and had a .158/.220/.342 slash line with three home runs and eight RBI.

Heredia was designated for assignment by Atlanta on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Heredia hung around as short-side platoon option for Atlanta these past two seasons, but he fell out of favor after hitting .158 with a 39 percent strikeout in 74 games in 2022. He could be a non-roster invitee to spring training.

Heredia was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Heredia was sent to the minors Sunday but will rejoin the major-league roster less than a week later after Ehire Adrianza (undisclosed) was placed on the injured list Friday. Heredia saw sporadic playing time prior to his demotion and will likely serve in a depth role now that he's back in the big leagues.

Heredia was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old has appeared in only four games with seven plate appearances since the All-Star break, and he'll head to Triple-A to make room on the big-league roster for catcher Chadwick Tromp. Heredia has a .549 OPS in 47 games this year and could rejoin Atlanta down the stretch if the team needs outfield depth.

Heredia remains on the bench for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks.
EDGE Analysis
Heredia has picked up only three starts since June 2, and his playing-time outlook doesn't look to have improved even after Adam Duvall suffered a season-ending wrist injury. So long as all of Ronald Acuna, Eddie Rosario, Marcell Ozuna, Michael Harris and William Contreras are healthy, Heredia doesn't look like he'll have a path for even short-side platoon work out of the Atlanta outfield.

Heredia went 1-for-2 with one homer, one RBI and one run scored in Tuesday's victory over the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Heredia hit the game-winning home run in the bottom of the seventh inning off Lou Trivino. The outfielder has seen limited time this season and a .140/.218/.400 slash line will not help his case for more playing time. The home run was his first since May 4 and only his third of the season.

Heredia went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run, a walk and two runs scored Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Heredia was a late addition to the lineup after Travis Demeritte (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Heredia took advantage of the unexpected opportunity and smacked his second home run of the season in the eighth inning. He's served primarily as a depth outfielder -- particularly since Ronald Acuna's return -- and has only four hits in 33 plate appearances this season.

Heredia is starting Wednesday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old was initially slated to be out of the lineup for the fifth time in the last six games, but he'll start in right field and bat ninth after Travis Demeritte (undisclosed) was a late scratch. Heredia is hitting .111 with a home run, a double, four runs and two RBI this year.

Heredia went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Monday in a loss to the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Los Angeles starter Clayton Kershaw cruised through four innings before Heredia got to him for a solo homer in the sixth. The long ball was Heredia's third hit and first home run this season. The 31-year-old hasn't hit more than six homers in any MLB campaign, so there's no reason to expect this to be part of a power surge.

Heredia went 1-for-4 with a double, a walk, three runs and an RBI in Tuesday's 16-4 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Heredia made the most of his first start of the season, but he's unlikely to see a major uptick in opportunities as a result. He filled in in right field for the lefty-hitting Eddie Rosario in right field due to the Nationals bringing a lefty (Patrick Corbin) to the hill, but Rosario isn't necessarily viewed as a strict platoon player for Atlanta.
