After signing with the Braves in February, former University of Georgia defensive back Sanders Commings announced he was released on Sunday.
Commings, an outfielder, recorded a .154 batting average, two hits and one RBI in six games with the Danville Braves.
“I'm just beginning my career. I look forward to signing elsewhere,” Commings said.
Thank you for all the ❤️. I'm just beginning my career. I look forward to signing elsewhere. Everyday counts; Back to work tomorrow.

Commings was selected by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 37th round of the 2008 MLB Draft, but chose to play football at UGA. Commings had a short-lived NFL career due to injuries after being drafted in the fifth round by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2013.
