Hey, in addition to y’know, the whole Jurickson Profar mess and the exhibition against Team Colombia this afternoon, we’ve got some roster cuts.
Rolddy Munoz gets cut after one official Spring Training outing where he issued three walks while getting two outs. A-yup, that’ll do it. He’s on the 40-man roster, but really
needs to figure out that whole oh-so-important control/command thing before he loses that spot.
Garrett Baumann, meanwhile, acquitted himself quite well across two outings, with five strikeouts, zero walks, and a hit batter across 16 batters and four innings of work. He’ll still probably work the same number of “official” Spring Training games either way as the Braves will need arms to complete meaningless innings through the next few weeks, but this is just a formality that he’s not exactly in the running for a roster spot just yet.
Owen Murphy also had two appearances and four innings in “official” games so far, and was kind of between Baumann and Munoz: six strikeouts across 15 batters, but a walk and a homer yielded. The former first-round pick has a lot of potential, but also has a ways to go to factor into the team’s big league plans, as he was hurt for much of 2025 recovering from Tommy John Surgery. Still, if he looks good upon returning, the Braves probably won’t hesitate to rocket him up the ladder.
