LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Blaine Boyer's attempt to make Atlanta's Opening Day roster ended when the Braves released him on Saturday morning. But there's still a chance the veteran reliever will return to the organization to begin the upcoming season with Triple-A Gwinnett.
"I understand I wasn't the right fit here," Boyer said. "It's a numbers game for a lot of these decisions. I was the odd man out. I'm glad they're at least giving me time to catch on with somebody else that needs some bullpen help. I want to thank the Braves from that standpoint.
