Johnson was added to the Braves' 25-man roster Tuesday, Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

Although Johnson has fared well at the plate this spring (.273/.396/.523), it was ultimately his defensive versatility that landed him a bench role with Atlanta. The 33-year-old can play first base, second base, third, and left field. Last season, Johnson hit just .215/.296/.362 between New York, Boston and Baltimore, and in a reserve role, won't have much fantasy utility outside of very deep NL-only leagues.
