The Atlanta Braves have trimmed their spring training roster by a few, narrowing the options to make the Opening Day roster. The three players, all non-roster invitees, were reassigned to minor league camp this afternoon.
The Braves and outfielder Luis Liberato have agreed to a minor league deal, as noted by Baseball America’s Matt Eddy. It’s unclear if the deal includes an invite to major league spring training.
The Braves have one obvious opening when it comes to their 2024 Opening Day lineup in left field. Perhaps they look to upgrade elsewhere, as they did last offseason with the acquisition of Sean Murphy.
A few players on postseason teams have cleared outright waivers after recently being designated for assignment. The Guardians have outrighted reliever Bryan Shaw to Triple-A Columbus, according to his transactions log at MLB.com.
The Padres have selected outfielder Luis Liberato onto the MLB roster. Catcher Cam Gallagher was designated for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot, while Austin Nola is headed to the paternity list in an active roster move.
