Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey Elects Free Agency After Braves Outright

Outfielder DaShawn Keirsey elected free agency after being outrighted to Triple-A Gwinnett by the Atlanta Braves. Called up in September following Lane Thomas's injury, Keirsey appeared in five major league games, scoring three runs and going 1-for-5 at the plate. Before his promotion, he recorded a .295 wOBA with 40 stolen bases in 109 Triple-A games. Known for elite speed, his high 27.9 percent strikeout rate at Triple-A limits his outlook to a fringe reserve depth role.
