The Atlanta Braves’ Opening Day roster is starting to come into focus. During his pregame media session, Brian Snitker confirmed that William Contreras, Spencer Strider and Tucker Davidson will all break camp with the team barring any last minute roster additions.
Contreras is the most surprising name here given that his primarily a catcher and that Atlanta already has two in Travis d’Arnaud and Manny Pina. However, one of the early storylines of the spring was the Braves trying to find a way to work Contreras’ bat into the lineup. Contreras started one game in right during the spring and the team thinks that he has the athleticism to possibly be an emergency option at third base as well.
