Former Atlanta Braves outfielder Alex Verdugo cleared waivers Saturday and was officially released by the club, The Athletic reported, three days after he was designated for assignment.

Verdugo was removed from the active roster to open a spot for the return of outfielder Jurickson Profar, who came back Wednesday from an 80-day suspension when he tested positive for performance-enhancing substances.

Verdugo batted .239 with no home runs and 12 RBIs in 56 games in his first season with the Braves. He signed a one-year deal for $1.5 million in March.
