"None of the moves come as much of a surprise as the Braves begin the gradual process of shaping their Opening Day roster. With several established players already locked into big-league roles, many of the early cuts were expected to come from the group of younger depth pieces and non-roster invites still getting their first looks in big-league camp."
The Atlanta Braves announced five roster cuts during spring training, optioning Jhancarlos Lara to Triple-A Gwinnett and reassigning Austin Pope, Jim Jarvis, Alex Lodise, and Luke Waddell to minor league camp. These moves leave 54 active players in camp as the team shapes its Opening Day roster. The cuts were largely expected, targeting younger depth pieces and non-roster invitees getting their first looks in major league camp, while established players remain locked into big-league roles. The Braves defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 9-5, with Spencer Strider earning the victory.
