The Atlanta Braves played like a tired team over the last week. Most Braves get five days off but four must attend an event in Washington D.C. Braves first baseman, Freddie Freeman, and right fielder Nick Markakis start while second sacker Ozzie Albies and starter Mike Foltynewicz made the squad as reserves.
Kyle Wright joined the U.S. squad for Sunday’s Futures Game as the Braves only selectee. Last year the two Braves prospects took part – Ronald Acuna and Mike Soroka – on the World Team.
