Alaniz signed a minor-league deal with Atlanta on Sunday, Chris Hilburn-Trenkle of Baseball America reports.
ANALYSIS
Alaniz spent the 2021 season in the Cincinnati organization, primarily at Triple-A Louisville. He posted a 45:17 K:BB across 39 innings in the minors, so he could be a reasonable depth reliever for Atlanta at various points in the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
This player will receive an outlook for the 2021 fantasy baseball season.
Last season was a special one for Alaniz as he received a callup to the majors for the first time after toiling in the minors since 2010. However, his brief stint in the big leagues was largely a mess as he posted a 9.19 ERA (5.38 FIP) in 15.2 innings between Seattle and Cincinnati. The right-hander has some strikeout ability -- he whiffed 54 batters in 40.1 Triple-A innings last season -- but struggles with his command and control, posting a 4.0 BB/9 in those frames. The walk rate was nearly identical to the mark he posted in the majors, but he was much less effective at striking out big-league hitters as his strikeout rate dropped to 18.3%. With such a small sample size, it's difficult to predict how his stuff will play in the majors. There's no guarantee that Alaniz will get another chance to prove his worth as he was removed from the Reds' 40-man roster in December.
