LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Here’s the Braves’ 25-man opening-day roster announced Saturday. They open the season Monday against the Washington Nationals at Turner Field.
Starting pitchers: Julio Teheran, Bud Norris, Matt Wisler, Williams Perez.
Bullpen: Jason Grilli, Arodys Vizcaino, Jim Johnson, Alexi Ogando, Dan Winkler, Jose Ramirez, John Gant, left-hander Eric O'Flaherty.
Infielders: Freddie Freeman, Jace Peterson, Erick Aybar, Adonis Garcia, Gordon Beckham, Kelly Johnson.
Outfielders: Nick Markakis, Ender Inciarte, Hector Olivera, Jeff Francoeur, Drew Stubbs.
Catchers: A.J. Pierzynski, Tyler Flowers.
Note: The Braves are carrying an extra (eighth) reliever initially because they don’t need a fifth starter until April 12 in the seventh game of the season. At that point they plan to bring up starter Jhoulys Chacin from Triple-A and subtract a reliever to be determined.
