LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- The Braves took another step toward completing their Opening Day roster on Saturday, when they removed left-hander Ian Krol and right-hander Ryan Weber from the battle for the last available bullpen spots.
With their latest round of cuts, the Braves optioned Krol and Weber to Triple-A Gwinnett. Infielder Reid Brignac and catcher Willians Astudillo were reassigned to Minor League camp.
The Braves now have 36 active players in their Major League camp. They will need to officially set their 25-man Opening Day roster on April 3, the day before they open the regular season against the Nationals at Turner Field.
