According to the team’s official MLB.com transactions log, the Braves have released Charlie Culberson. Culberson rejoined the Braves on a minor league deal back in January and was attempting to transition to pitching after 17 pro seasons (including 11 in the majors) as a utilityman. This doesn’t appear to be the end of the line for Culberson’s career, as he told Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he will continue seeking more playing opportunities. Culberson turns 35 next month, though he indicated in another interview with Toscano last month that he wasn’t yet leaning towards retirement. Culberson has a .248/.294/.386 slash line over 1,312 career plate appearances, and he has played for five different teams at the MLB level since making his debut with the Giants in 2012.
