Rosters for the World Baseball Classic were released Thursday night live on MLB Network and the Atlanta Braves will have a minor imprint on the tournament. While Atlanta doesn’t have a large number of players who will be suiting up, they will have a couple of big name players participating in Ronald Acuña Jr and Eddie Rosario.
Acuña originally wasn’t slated to participate, but it was announced Wednesday that the Braves had given him permission. Acuña battled knee soreness in 2022, but participated in a handful of games in the Venezuelan Winter League this offseason and has reported no issues with his surgically repaired knee.
