Biddle was claimed by the Braves on Saturday, Travis Sawchik of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

After being designated for assignment by the Pirates last week, Biddle was claimed off waivers by the Braves, who wanted to add a southpaw to their roster. The former first rounder has never advanced beyond Triple-A and underwent Tommy John surgery in October, meaning that Atlanta will have to be patient with him as he'll likely be on the shelf for the 2016 season. Still, if Biddle can tap into the talent that warranted a first-round selection in 2010, this could prove to be a savvy addition for the rebuilding Braves.
