Updates on Braves’ Acuna, Bautista, Flowers at Gwinnett

Dustin Peterson’s seventh-inning grand slam lifted the Gwinnett Stripers to a 5-2 win over the host Rochester Red Wings on Tuesday night.

Peterson went 3-for-4 with a double and a season-high four RBIs for Gwinnett (7-10).

Ronald Acuna went 2-for-4 with a double, a run and RBI and is hitting .232. He also committed an error when he lost a fly ball in the lights.

Braves catcher Tyler Flowers, rehabbing after a stint on the disabled list, went 0-for-5.

Jose Bautista, who will be the Braves' starting third baseman when he's called up soon, went 1-for-3, scored two runs and had a stolen base. He is hitting .111 in Triple A.

Players who aren’t tendered contracts become free agents.

The Braves’ two deals completed on Wednesday clarified at least a section of the team’s offseason plan.

The re-signing of Raisel Iglesias to a one-year $16 million deal with the Braves retains Iglesias at the same salary he earned last season.
