Trade with Dodgers headlines flurry of Atlanta Braves early-June moves
By Matt Melton
Nixson Cueche, Infielder
Atlanta's second move from June 1 came via a minor league free agent signing in Cueche, who is an 18-year-old infielder.
Also a native of Venezuela, Cueche spent the lone season of his professional career so far in 2023 as a member of the Boston Red Sox organization. In 38 games with the DSL Red Sox, Cueche slashed .277/.333/.353 with 15 RBI and two SB while also seeing time defensively at every infield position.
Cueche was also assigned to the DSL Braves on June 1, and has not yet appeared in a game.
Diego Gutierrez, Infielder
The Braves final move from June 1 came from signing Gutierrez to a minor league deal.
Gutierrez, a 17-year-old infielder who has not seen any action so far during his professional career, was assigned to the DSL Braves on June 3, and has not seen playing time since.
