Brignac's contract was selected by the Braves on Monday and he is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Braves, batting sixth and playing second base.

EDGE Analysis

Brignac has been torching minor league pitching to the tune of an .822 OPS, so the Braves decided to reward him as a part of their flurry of roster moves. Brignac may not see consistent time in the starting lineup, but his versatility will help him get more time when the regulars need off days.

Brignac was designated for assignment by the Marlins on Friday, Joe Frisaro of MLB.com reports. Brignac was used sparingly during his three-plus weeks with the Marlins, seeing just one start and 17 plate appearances in total. He will now be subjected to waivers, and considering Brignac is 29 with a career .219/.266/.310 slash line, it seems doubtful he'll draw much interest from other clubs.

Brignac's contract was selected from Triple-A New Orleans on Monday, MLB.com's Joe Frisaro reports. Brignac spent his 2014 campaign with the Phillies, batting .222/.300/.346 over 91 plate appearances. The Marlins are a bit short-handed in the infield, with Donovan Solano representing their only current backup, so Brignac will fill in as a reserve in the short term. He'll likely be expendable once Don Kelly (finger) returns to health.

Brignac will get called up before Monday night's game against the Braves, the Miami Herald reports. He'll replace the injured Don Kelly, but because he's not yet on the 40-man roster the Marlins will have to make room for him.

Brignac agreed to a minor league contract with Miamia and will play for Triple-A New Orleans, the Miami Herald reports. Brignac didn't make Miami's 25-man roster and elected to be a free agent, but didn't find a better deal and returned to the organization. He could get called up at some point if injuries strike the Miami infield.

Brignac has elected to become a free agent Tuesday after being cut by the Marlins, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports. Brignac could have began the season with Triple-A Nashville after being cut from major league camp, but he'll hope another club gives him a shot at the major league roster instead. The 29-year-old slashed just .222/.300/.346 in 37 games with the Phillies in 2014.

Brignac will not make the Opening Day roster, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reports. Brignac, a non-roster invitee to spring training, will open his season with Triple-A Nashville. He did have a decent spring, and he could still help the Marlins out at some point before the end of the season. It appears Donovan Solano and Jeff Baker will be the reserve infielders on the Opening Day roster.

Brignac had a big day at the dish during Monday's win over the Mets, knocking three singles and plating three runs. Brignac got the nod at shortstop with Adeiny Hechavarria (shoulder) needing a couple days rest. The veteran infielder signed a minor league deal with the team over the winter and is currently competing for a bench spot. The Marlins have a number of backup options to evaluate in the spring with Brignac representing the best glove of the group. If the offensive production continues, Brignac will be firmly in the mix for a roster spot.

Brignac signed a minor league contract with the Marlins on Wednesday, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports. Though the report doesn't state that Brignac's deal includes an invite to big league spring training, that's probably a safe assumption after the infielder was able to collect 81 at-bats with the Phillies in 2014. The Marlins' middle infield depth isn't especially impressive, so Brignac could have a legitimate case to a utility role if he submits a strong spring training. However, as a glove-first player with a .222/.266/.314 line across seven MLB seasons, Brignac won't offer much fantasy utility if he's able to claim a big league gig.

Brignac has filed for free agency. Brignac hit .222/.300/.346 with a home run and 10 RBI in 81 at-bats with the Phillies this season. He will be looking for a minor league contract this winter.
