Braves roster cuts include Ian Krol, Ryan Weber

The Atlanta Braves trimmed four more players from its spring roster on Saturday. The team optioned pitchers Ian Krol and Ryan Weber to Triple-A Gwinnett and reassigned catcher Willians Astudillo and infielder Reid Brignac to minor league camp.

Krol struggled throughout camp nine hits, eight earned runs and four walks in just 5 2/3 innings this spring. His departure could lead the Braves to explore left-handed reliever options outside the organization. Weber entered camp hoping to make some noise in the team's rotation battle but was surpassed by John Gant who remains in the mix.
