The Atlanta Braves continued trimming down the roster Thursday, announcing five more cuts. Jhancarlos Lara was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett, while Austin Pope, Jim Jarvis, Alex Lodise and Luke Waddell were reassigned to minor league camp. After these moves, there are 54 active players in camp.
None of the moves come as much of a surprise as the Braves begin the gradual process of shaping their Opening Day roster. With several established players already locked into big-league roles, many of the early
cuts were expected to come from the group of younger depth pieces and non-roster invites still getting their first looks in big-league camp.
