The Atlanta Braves have 21 non-roster invitees competing for positions next month during spring training in Florida.

Among the invitees are top prospect Ronald Acuna and other elite Braves minor leaguers.

New Atlanta general manager Alex Anthopoulos, after teasing to a possible position change for Dansby Swanson and Ozzie Albies at December's winter meetings, now says the shortstop and second baseman are unlikely to switch.

Nothing is guaranteed, however. Second-year Braves infielder Johan Camargo is listed at the top of the depth chart at third and is in competition for a utility role this spring.
