Anderson rejoined the Braves on Sunday, after being claimed off waivers from the Los Angeles Angels. He was then designated for assignment shortly after, and now he’s cleared waivers and will proceed in Gwinnett.
De La Cruz had an unimpressive run with the Braves, where he logged just over 90 innings and manufactured a .191 batting average.
The moves bring the roster count to 38.
