The Atlanta Braves have reassigned Garrett Cooper and Conner Capel from their big league camp, leaving 37 players in the running for the roster. Cooper, a former All-Star, offers potential experience as a first baseman, which could be crucial if starter Matt Olson faces injury. Capel adds depth to the outfield, having played at the major league level in the past few seasons with different teams. These moves are significant as the Braves continue to refine their roster ahead of the upcoming season.
Cooper, 34, was an All-Star in 2022 and has seen time as both an outfielder and first baseman during his eight-year career.
Capel, 27, has seen big league action as an outfielder in each of the last three seasons for three different organizations.
If he stays in the Braves organization, Cooper would provide the team with an experienced first baseman to replace Matt Olson, should he miss time.
After this evening's announcement, the Braves now have 37 players left in their big league camp.
