One of the more unsettled parts of the Braves’ roster coming into camp this year was its bench. With some key departures combined with the DH getting removed for reasons passing understanding, the bench’s composition both became more important and less settled for the Braves. The solution the team settled on was inviting a ton of guys in to camp and having a battle royale for those available bench spots.
We now know that a couple players will not be winning those spots...at least not for now.
The Braves have optioned OF Guillermo Heredia to the team's alternate site and reassigned INF Ryan Goins to minor league camp.
