Braves Place 4 Players on DL to Open Season

Baseball season is upon us, and the Braves have finally released their opening day 25 man roster. The Braves were fortunate this spring to avoid significant injury to any of their expected starters, but a few potential contributors have landed on the disabled list leading into the season. Most of the damage was done to a now weakened bullpen.

#Braves have also placed Mauricio Cabrera, Armando Rivero, Dan Winkler and Micah Johnson on the 10-day DL, retroactive to 3/30.

The biggest loss for the team in the early going would appear to be Mauricio Cabrera, who was expected to take on a much larger role for the team in the early going this season.
