Fuentes lands Opening Day spot as Braves ride spring breakout
Didier Fuentes makes Atlanta’s Opening Day roster after a standout spring, flashing a Strider-like fastball-slider mix and the potential third pitch in a splitter; his status for a six-man rotation could hinge on injuries. The Braves also enjoyed a strong Spring Breakout win against Yankees prospects (8-3) and saw major-league spring performances from Chris Sale and Austin Riley.
