The 35-year-old infielder sat out the 2023 season after toiling in the minor leagues for the Braves during the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. He hasn’t appeared in a big league game since the truncated 2020 season. Overall, Goins slashed .228/.278/.333 with 22 homers, 158 RBI and six stolen bases across 1690 plate appearances over eight seasons with the Blue Jays, Royals and White Sox.

Goins hasn't appeared in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign when he got into 14 contests for the White Sox. The 34-year-old veteran journeyman batted .217/.244/.257 with zero homers and zero steals across 317 plate appearances last season for Triple-A Gwinnett in the Braves' system. He's merely organizational filler at this advanced stage of his career.

Goins was called up briefly in mid-August to the Braves' active roster, but didn't end up getting into a game. The light-hitting 34-year-old journeyman infielder hasn't appeared in the majors since the pandemic-shortened 2020 campaign. He's merely emergency organizational depth at this advanced stage of his career. 

Goins was assigned to Triple-A Gwinnett after he cleared waivers and remained with the Braves. The 34-year-old veteran will continue to serve as organizational depth.
