The Atlanta Braves got good news today: both catchers returned from the IL, and their veteran clubhouse leader decided to play.
This morning the Atlanta Braves made a series of roster moves, beginning with the activation of catcher’s Travis d’Arnaud and Tyler Flowers. Alex Jackson and William Contreras were optioned to Gwinnett to clear 30-man slots for the backstops.
The club also activated newly acquired outfield Scott Schebler and optioned reliever Chad Sobotka to the 30-man pool.
