Ender Inciarte, Josh Donaldson and Ozzie Albies were among the position players who reported to Braves camp Sunday. Camp opened Friday for pitchers and catchers, but position players weren’t required to report until Wednesday.

The Braves anticipated several early arrivals. Every position player is already in camp, except veterans Nick Markakis and Charlie Culberson. The team’s first full-squad workout is set for Thursday.

Sunday marked the team’s second day of workouts. The position players in camp took batting practice in the morning.
