Starting pitcher scratched from Monday’s final spring training outing.

After signing minor-league contracts in February, the infielders appear to have made the team to provide depth as opening day looms.

The club's No. 3 prospect will start the year in Atlanta's bullpen to help the Braves, who play 13 games in 13 days to start the season.

The club has a noon Wednesday deadline to submit its final 26-man roster ahead of Friday’s opening day at Truist Park against the Royals.

Infielder John Gil, rated MLB’s 10th-best prospect, leads way with two RBIs and two runs.

The strong showing catapults the pitcher into next Friday, where he’ll go up against the Royals as the Braves opening day starter.

What's going on with the Braves as opening day approaches March 27.

The outfielder, who was also suspended for 80 games last season for a positive PED test, had appealed the suspension for all of the 2026 season.

Brandon Gaudin, C.J. Nitkowski return for a third season as the Braves' play-by-play announcer and primary analyst, respectively.
