The Braves rewarded the three most impressive players in their camp with spots on the opening-day roster.
Infielder Ehire Adrianza, reliever Nate Jones and infielder Pablo Sandoval were added to the 40-man roster Friday, the team announced Saturday morning. Seeking depth on a budget, the Braves entered spring hoping some of their non-roster invitees could surprise and force their way into the team’s plans. Adrianza, Jones and Sandoval did just that.
“When you look at (Sandoval and Adrianza), they come in, and you tell guys they’re competing for a job, and they did, it’s hard to deny either of those guys,” manager Brian Snitker said.
