Olivera will play about six weeks in a Winter League over the offseason, Kevin McAlpin of Sports Radio 680 The Fan reports.

Analysis:

Olivera made his big league debut after a midseason trade to the Braves, ending his rookie campaign slashing .253/.310/.405 with two homers in 24 games. The Cuban import was used in a platoon role at times this season, but heading into the 2016 season, he seems poised to take over the everyday role at either the hot corner or in left field.
