Atlanta Braves news and notes from Saturday Well Spring Training is going quite well for Atlanta so far. They have not experienced catastrophic injuries anywhere, crucially including the pitching staff. Also importantly, although somewhat less so, is that the players for the most part look like themselves so far. The pitching staff has largely performed well in their first outings and we have seen some pop off of the bats of many of the star hitters. More of this, particularly the health, would be ideal as we continue to march towards Opening Day.
Braves News
Our own Grant McAuley interviewed Austin Riley about his injuries last season and his outlook in 2025.
The Braves reassigned another couple of veteran relievers to minor league camp, trimming the Spring Training roster further.
Bryan De La Cruz looked good in Saturday’s Spring Training game featuring most of the lineup regulars, Dylan Lee, and a few bullpen contenders.
MLB News
Rob Manfred is reportedly considering an appeal from the late Pete Rose’s family to remove Rose from the ineligible list, as per ESPN.
The Yankees announced that Giancarlo Stanton won’t be available to play on Opening Day, due to elbow soreness.
Jon Heyman reports that the Yankees have had contact with free agent JD Martinez’ representation recently.
