It’s around 5 PM EST right now, so it seemed like the perfect time for the Braves to break some news concerning their latest round of cuts at spring training. A handful of players were were reassigned to minor league camp, such as Dustin Peterson, Christian Colon, Rob Brantley and some guy named Ronald Acuña Jr.
The #Braves today reassigned six players to minor league camp, including OF Ronald Acuña Jr., C Rob Brantley, INF Christian Colon, OF Dustin Peterson and RHPs Josh Graham and Miguel Socolovich.

Obviously, the huge story here is that this basically confirms that the Braves are indeed going to stash Acuña at the Triple-A level to start the season, despite the fact that he has spent the vast majority of spring training looking like someone who is clearly ready to ply his trade at the major league level.
