Braves' Chris Sale: Dazzles in Tuesday's outing
Sale walked one and struck out four over four scoreless, no-hit innings during Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins.
The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner looked to be nearly in regular-season form as he carved up a Minnesota lineup that included plenty of potential Opening Day starters, with his strikeouts coming against the likes of Matt Wallner, Ty France and Jose Miranda. Sale's outing was even more encouraging considering that Drake Baldwin was getting the start at catcher in place of Sean Murphy (ribs), as Atlanta could elect to bring the prospect north on the 26-man roster. Sale remains on track to get the Opening Day nod against the Padres on March 27.

Braves' Matthew Batten: Nets MiLB deal from Atlanta
Atlanta signed Batten to a minor-league contract Feb. 21 that includes an invitation to spring training.
Batten has already seen action in three Grapefruit League games for Atlanta, going 1-for-5 with an RBI. The 29-year-old is likely to begin the 2025 season at Triple-A Gwinnett serving as utility depth.

Braves' Jose Devers: Bid for Opening Day roster ends
Atlanta reassigned Devers to minor-league camp Tuesday.
Devers appeared in three big-league games for the Marlins in 2024, but he otherwise spent much of the season at the Triple-A level, slashing .228/.293/.360 with three home runs and three stolen bases across 209 plate appearances for Jacksonville. After falling short in his bid for winning a bench role on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, Devers is likely to spent most of the season with the organization's top affiliate in Gwinnett.

Braves' Jarred Kelenic: Pops first spring homer
Kelenic went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
The 25-year-old outfielder took Wilking Rodriguez deep in the seventh inning, giving Kelenic his first homer of the spring. He's expected to begin the season on the strong side of a platoon in right field with Bryan De La Cruz, but the assignment will only be a temporary one as Atlanta waits for Ronald Acuna (knee) to be cleared for his 2025 debut. Kelenic saw a career-high 449 plate appearances last year, but he turned them into a tepid .231/.286/.393 slash line with 15 homers, 45 RBI and 49 runs.

Braves' Matt Olson: Flexing muscles in camp
Olson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
He went back-to-back with Austin Riley in the first inning off Marcus Stroman. The blast was Olson's second of the spring in 13 at-bats, and the 30-year-old first baseman will look to rebound this season after what was by his standards a disappointing 2024 campaign in which he produced "only" 29 homers and 98 RBI.

Braves' Austin Riley: Swats first spring homer
Riley went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees.
The third baseman took Marcus Stroman deep in the first inning for his first long ball of the spring. Injuries helped derail his 2024 campaign, and Riley saw his streak of consecutive seasons with at least 30 homers, 90 runs and 90 RBI end at three. The 27-year-old was healthy to begin camp however, and he's on track to reclaim his spot at the heart of Atlanta's lineup.

Braves' Reynaldo Lopez: Building up
Lopez threw 44 pitches (25 strikes) in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Yankees, allowing one hit and two walks over 1.2 scoreless innings. He struck out one.
The right-hander has yet to give up a run this spring, posting a 3:3 K:BB over 3.2 scoreless innings in two starts. Lopez had a breakout 2024 in his return to a starting role, delivering a 1.99 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 148:42 K:BB in 135.2 innings for Atlanta, and he's aiming to handle a 200-inning workload in 2025.

Braves' Drake Baldwin: Could begin season as top catcher
Baldwin has a chance to open the season as Atlanta's starting catcher after Sean Murphy suffered a fractured rib Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
The injury will keep Murphy out for the rest of the spring, and at a minimum, he'll be out for the first week or two of the season. Baldwin, the club's top prospect, slashed .276/.370/.423 with 18 home runs between Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett in 2024. He is not yet on the 40-man roster, which could work against him if Atlanta is confident Murphy will not miss much time. However, Baldwin offers much more upside than the other catching options in camp (Chadwick Tromp, Sandy Leon and Curt Casali).

Braves' Sean Murphy: Out 4-to-6 weeks with fractured rib
Murphy will be out for 4-to-6 weeks after being diagnosed Monday with a fractured rib on his left side, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Murphy suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch Friday, and he will need a stint on the injured list to begin the season. The door is now open for top prospect Drake Baldwin to begin the season as Atlanta's starting catcher. However, Baldwin is not on the 40-man roster, so the club could go with Chadwick Tromp and one of Sandy Leon or Curt Casali if they're confident Murphy's absence will be relatively brief.

Braves' Hector Neris: Gets NRI deal
Neris signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Monday that includes an invitation to big-league spring training, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Neris served as the Cubs' closer for most of 2024, logging 18 saves in 59.1 innings. However, he'll settle for a minor-league deal after logging a 1.40 WHIP and 13.8 K-BB% -- his worst such marks since the 2020 season. Neris could make the big club in a mid-leverage role.

Braves' Chad Kuhl: Sent to minor-league camp
Kuhl was reassigned to minor-league camp by Atlanta on Sunday.
Kuhl signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Feb. 5 after appearing in 31 games for the White Sox during the 2024 regular season, during which he posted a 5.06 ERA and 1.52 WHIP across 53.1 innings. Kuhl will likely begin the 2025 campaign with Triple-A Gwinnett, but some strong minor-league outings could lead to him rejoining Atlanta in the majors.

Braves' Eddy Alvarez: Sent to minor-league camp
Atlanta reassigned Alvarez to minor-league spring camp Sunday.
The 34-year-old joined Atlanta on a minor-league deal in January but was never a realistic bet to make the Opening Day roster. Alvarez appeared in 13 games with the Mets last year but spent most of the campaign at the Triple-A level, where he had an .811 OPS in 115 games.

Braves' Jackson Stephens: Returns on minor-league deal
Stephens signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Feb. 24.
Stephens is back with Atlanta after he spent each of the last three seasons with the organization. He made three relief appearances with the big club in 2024 but saw the bulk of his action at Triple-A Gwinnett, with whom he accrued a 3.86 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 49:17 K:BB in 46.2 innings. The 30-year-old will report back to Gwinnett to begin the 2025 campaign.

Braves' Ian Anderson: Stingy in second spring start
Anderson walked two batters without a strikeout over three scoreless, no-hit innings during Friday's Grapefruit league game against the Marlins.
The right-hander tossed 16 of 28 pitches for strikes against a Miami lineup that included a number of likely Opening Day starters, including Jesus Sanchez, Kyle Stowers and Connor Norby. Anderson is out of minor-league options, making him a favorite to secure a spot at the back of the Atlanta rotation this spring, but his 1:5 K:BB through 4.2 innings to begin the exhibition schedule isn't especially encouraging, even if it comes with a 1.93 ERA. On the bright side, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports that Anderson's fastball topped out at 94.9 mph Friday, and he appears close to consistently regaining the velocity that saw him average 94.6 mph with his heater over a 24-start stint for Atlanta in 2021 during which he posted a 3.58 ERA and 1.23 WHIP.

Braves' Chasen Shreve: Moved to minor-league camp
Atlanta reassigned Shreve to minor-league camp Saturday.
Shreve fired three scoreless innings during Grapefruit League play, but Atlanta will opt to keep him in their minor-league system to begin the new season. The 34-year-old southpaw posted a 2.65 ERA and 0.85 WHIP across 34 frames in Triple-A last year, and he could earn a call to the majors with similar production.

Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Expects to return soon
Alvarez said Saturday that his left wrist is feeling better and believes he can return to game action within the next couple of days, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Alvarez tweaked his wrist after striking out swinging during the first inning of Thursday's contest, but he doesn't seem to be dealing with anything serious. The 21-year-old infielder is battling for a spot on Atlatna's bench after slashing .297/.398/.463 with 42 RBI and 10 steals across 64 Triple-A games last season.

Braves' Nacho Alvarez: Removed with wrist injury
Alvarez was removed from Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals due to left wrist discomfort.
Alvarez was wincing after he struck out swinging during his at-bat in the first inning, and he was replaced in the field the bottom of the frame. Atlanta will likely take a closer look at him and offer an update on his status in the near future.

Braves' Wander Suero: Shifts to minors camp
Atlanta reassigned Suero to minor-league camp Thursday.
Suero was competing for a spot in Atlanta's bullpen after posting a 2.66 ERA and 1.21 WHIP across 67.2 innings with Houston's Triple-A affiliate last year. However, he gave up two earned runs over two innings in the Grapefruit League and will now head to Gwinnett to begin the 2025 campaign.
