Former Milwaukee Brewers center fielder Lorenzo Cain has cleared waivers and is now a free agent.

The Brewers made the announcement via social media Wednesday, four days after the two-time All-Star was designated for assignment. The Brewers' tweet included the message, "Thank you, Lo!" and was accompanied by a video showing some of Cain's greatest highlights with the franchise.

First baseman Mike Ford was claimed off waivers by the Atlanta Braves from the Seattle Mariners on Friday.

Ford, who played 101 games with the New York Yankees from 2019 to 2021, was designated for assignment by Seattle on Sunday.

The Braves optioned Ford, 29, to Triple-A Gwinnett.
