"For Alvarez, Jr., Tromp and Guerra, this isn't surprising as all three players will be playing in the World Baseball Classic for Mexico, Netherlands and Panama, respectively, and all three were likely to start the year in the minors baring an injury to those above them on the team's depth chart."
"Stratton, who pitched in 12 games out of the bullpen for Atlanta, also figured to start the year in Triple-A. He has pitched in parts of three seasons in the big leagues, all with the Pittsburgh Pirates prior to joining Atlanta during the 2025 season."
The Atlanta Braves announced roster moves involving four players. Nacho Alvarez Jr. and Hunter Stratton were optioned to Triple-A, while non-roster invitees Chadwick Tromp and Javy Guerra were reassigned to minor league camp. Alvarez Jr., Tromp, and Guerra will compete in the World Baseball Classic for Mexico, Netherlands, and Panama respectively, making their reassignments unsurprising. All three were expected to begin the season in the minors unless injuries created opportunities on the major league roster. Stratton, who appeared in 12 games for Atlanta's bullpen, also figured to start the year in Triple-A. He has pitched in parts of three MLB seasons, all previously with the Pittsburgh Pirates before joining Atlanta in 2025. The Braves now have 62 players in camp.
