Here are 5 players that you probably forgot played for the Braves in 2024

It's already been nearly two months since the Atlanta Braves 2024 season came to an end on a somewhat expected whimper. While some parts of the season are still fresh in the minds of Braves fans, like the plethora of injuries that didn't end even when the season was over, others have gone completely forgotten.

From players who only pitched one game to players who made it to the MLB roster but became phantom players, these are the Braves you completely forgot were on the team.

Here are 5 players fans may have forgotten played for the Braves in 2024

Joey Wendle, The Phantom

Phantom players appear on an MLB roster but don't actually appear in a game. While there have been phantom players who never appear in an MLB game at all, these two players have MLB experience, but just never appeared in a game for Atlanta.

There were two phantom players this year on the Braves active roster. In May, the Braves signed Joey Wendle and added him to the active roster while Austin Riley was still in injury limbo. After three days of not playing, the Braves designated him for assignment after Ronald Acuña Jr.'s injury.

The other phantom player, Zack Logue, had two separate stints with the Braves, one in July and one in August. The July stint lasted a day during which the Braves got rained out, while the second stint lasted four days. He was designated for assignment at the beginning of September.

Brian Anderson

Anderson only appeared in three games for the Braves, but he was actually on the roster for a lot longer than you might expect.

The third baseman/outfielder signed with Atlanta on June 4 and played three games in his first eight days with the team. Then he disappeared. It turned out he was suffering from a viral infection, but he wouldn't be placed on the IL until June 25, spending a full three weeks on the team.

Anderson eventually would elect free agency but re-signed and spent the rest of the season with Gwinnett.

Luis Guillorme

Guillorme actually appeared in 10 games with the Braves, but his games came in such quick succession before he was jettisoned off to Los Angeles (the lesser team).

The former Met spent 10 games riding the bench before making his Braves debut on the mound in a blowout. He then played eight games over nine days, sat on the bench for another ten days, played one final game, and got traded.

All in all, he slashed .150/.190/.250 as Brave and has likely been out of fan's consciousness since the day he was traded.

Jackson Stephens

Two years ago, Jackson Stephens played a huge role in the bullpen, covering 53.2 innings with a 3.69 ERA. Unfortunately for the righty, the past two years in the bigs have more cameos than anything.

This season, Stephens only appeared in three games, all coming in May covering 3.1 innings with a 2.70 ERA. Stephens was designated for assignment when Pierce Johnson was activated from the IL, and the 30-year-old would spend the rest of the season with Gwinnett.

Parker Dunshee

On August 8, the Braves called up Parker Dunshee to give the team an extra arm. After 2.2 poor innings by Charlie Morton, Atlanta needed a long reliever, so Dunshee was quickly thrown into the fire.

He got a groundout to end the third, then had three strikeouts in the top of the fourth. It looked like it would be a successful MLB debut for Dunshee. Unfortunately, Brian Snitker and the Braves hoped they could get another clean inning out of the 29-year-old rookie.

Dunshee allowed five runs in the top of the 5th, including two bombs. After the game, he was immediately sent back to Gwinnett, and a few days later, he was designated for assignment. The righty elected free agency at the end of the year, so we'll see if he becomes one of those trivia questions of one-game players.
