Braves' Luis Liberato: Gets minors deal from Atlanta
Rotowire
Liberato signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Nov. 19.
Liberato got a cup of coffee with the Padres in 2022 but spent all of 2023 at Triple-A El Paso, putting up an .826 OPS with nine homers in 69 contests. The 27-year-old is likely headed to Triple-A Gwinnett to begin the 2024 campaign.

The Padres reassigned Liberato to minor-league camp Friday.
Liberato cracked the majors for the first time in his career last season, but was held hitless in five at-bats. He will almost certainly return to Triple-A El Paso for the start of 2023, where he slashed .261/.354/.541 over 390 plate appearances last year.

Padres' Luis Liberato: Bags spring training invite
Rotowire
The Padres announced Wednesday that Liberato has been invited to big-league spring training.
Liberato was designated for assignment in November and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso after clearing waivers. The 27-year-old played well for Triple-A El Paso in 2022, supplying an .895 OPS over 390 plate appearances. He received the chance to make his big-league debut for the Padres in September, but now that he no longer possesses a spot on the 40-man roster, Liberato will most likely be set to return to El Paso to begin the 2023 campaign.

Padres' Luis Liberato: Selected by San Diego
Rotowire
Liberato's contract was selected from Triple-A El Paso on Friday.
The 26-year-old has never played in the majors, but he earned his first call-up by socking 20 home runs and posting an .895 OPS over 99 games with El Paso this season. He will join an already-crowded outfield, so he will likely fill only a limited role with the big club.
