The Braves made their first cuts of spring training, headlined by Chadwick Tromp to triple-A and Blake Burkhalter to minor league camp. Tromp had been considered a dark horse option for the Braves’ Opening Day roster to enable The two top catchers to DH more, but the Braves have apparently elected against this strategy. Meanwhile, Burkhalter is a member of the most recent draft class, but is considered very major league ready and could be seen later this season as a reliever.
In other news, Nick Anderson had a strong performance on a day without many notable performances in spring training.
