Julio Teheran left off Braves postseason roster, team plans to go with six man bench with Ortega

We don’t have the exact postseason roster just yet...lets just get that out of the way. However, given that we know a large chunk of it just because of the who the regulars are, there were only a finite number of spots available. Ultimately the decision came down to whether or not to carry Julio Teheran as either the team’s fourth starter/long man or to carry another bullpen arm. After that, the number of bench players would determine if there would be an extra spot in the bullpen.

Braves manager Brian Snitker was asked today about their postseason roster selections and, well, we know a lot more now.
