Between a series of roster transactions and the announcement regarding their opening series starting pitchers, the Atlanta Braves 2019 opening day roster is rounding into form…with a couple of notable surprises.
Last week, the Atlanta Braves made the first big announcement regarding their opening day roster plans when they announced that Julio Teheran would take the mound in Game 1 of the upcoming season.
With spring training wrapping up over the weekend with the final game in their Orlando facility and the first game in their new North Port spring home, the Atlanta Braves announced their rotation plans for the first 7 games of the season:
