Atlanta signed Batten to a minor-league contract Feb. 21 that includes an invitation to spring training.

EDGE Analysis

Batten has already seen action in three Grapefruit League games for Atlanta, going 1-for-5 with an RBI. The 29-year-old is likely to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Gwinnett serving as utility depth.

Batten cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The Padres removed the 29-year-old from the 40-man roster on Friday, and he'll remain in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Batten has appeared in just one big-league game this season and has a .247/.325/.348 slash line in 454 plate appearances with El Paso.

The Padres designated Batten for assignment Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Batten will give up his spot on the 40-man roster for Yu Darvish (personal/elbow) who was reinstated from both the 15-day injured list and the restricted list Friday. Batten has logged just three at-bats with San Diego this season, notching a triple.

The Padres optioned Batten to Triple-A El Paso on Wednesday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Batten's latest stint in the big league lasted just one day and he did not see any action. His roster spot will be filled by infielder Mason McCoy, who was called up from Triple-A.

The Padres recalled Batten from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old has been with Triple-A El Paso since late April but will join the Friars on Tuesday as Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder) heads to the injured list. Batten should serve as a depth infielder while up in the big leagues and likely won't see regular at-bats.

The Padres optioned Batten to Triple-A El Paso on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Batten didn't appear in a game during his latest stint in the big leagues, and he will now return to the minors as Manny Machado returns from paternity leave. Batten is slashing .224/.318/.293 across 66 plate appearances at Triple-A.

The Padres recalled Batten from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The move comes with Manny Machado going on paternity leave. Batten has made one appearance in the majors this season, starting at first base and going 1-for-3 with a triple against the Brewers on April 17. With Triple-A El Paso this season, Batten is slashing .224/.318/.293 with one home run and nine RBI over 66 plate appearances, adding two stolen bases.

The Padres optioned Batten to Triple-A El Paso on Saturday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Batten was called up by the Padres on April 16. He played April 17 against the Brewers, going 1-for-3 with a triple. Batten's move to Triple-A El Paso is to make room for San Diego to call up Graham Pauley, who will start at third base for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays.

Batten was recalled from Triple-A El Paso by the Padres on Tuesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Batten will provide some extra infield protection while Jake Cronenworth (calf) is banged up. The 28-year-old Batten put up a .713 OPS with two homers and two steals over 43 games with the big club last season and can handle every infield position as well as the corner outfield spots.

Batten was optioned to Triple-A El Paso on Monday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The move further clarifies the Padres' third-base picture, as Batten had been in competition with Graham Pauley and Eguy Rosario for playing time at the hot corner until Manny Machado (elbow) is ready to play the field. Batten probably has the best glove of the trio, but he's limited offensively and went just 3-for-24 at the plate this spring.
