ATLANTA -- Connor Gillispie will come to Spring Training with a chance to fill one of the Braves¡¯ bullpen voids.

The Braves announced they signed Gillispie to a one-year, non-guaranteed contract on Friday night. The financial figures weren¡¯t revealed. With this arrangement, the 27-year-old pitcher has been given a spot on Atlanta¡¯s 40-man roster. But he will be owed just a portion of his contract if released before the end of Spring Training.

Gillispie made his MLB debut on Aug. 4 against the Orioles, but he spent most of this season in Cleveland¡¯s Minor League system. He allowed four hits and two earned runs in eight innings over three appearances before being sent back down. He posted a 4.05 ERA in 27 appearances (15 starts) for Triple-A Columbus this year.

With Joe Jim¨¦nez expected to miss most or all of the 2025 season, closer Raisel Iglesias, Pierce Johnson, Aaron Bummer, Daysbel Hernandez, Grant Holmes and Dylan Lee are currently Atlanta¡¯s only projected bullpen members. Gillispie's experience as a starter could make him a long relief candidate.
