To this point, the Braves have not made any splash acquisitions, but they’ve made a ton of smaller transactions that haven’t been the easiest to keep up with if you’re not locked into your phone 24/7. So, let’s take a look at the current outlook of the Braves 40-man roster and see what moves need to be made before the start of the season.
Pitchers
- Ian Anderson
- Aaron Bummer
- Dylan Dodd
- Bryce Elder
- Max Fried
- Daysbel Hernandez
- Raisel Iglesias
- Joe Jimenez
- Pierce Johnson
- Ray Kerr
- Dylan Lee
- Reynaldo Lopez
- Tyler Matzek
- A.J. Minter
- Charlie Morton
- Penn Murfee
- Angel Perdomo
- AJ Smith-Shawver
- Jackson Stephens
- Spencer Strider
- Darius Vines
- Allan Winans
- Huascar Ynoa

That’s a full arsenal of pitchers; however, at least three of them will be headed to the 60-day IL once the season begins — Penn Murfee, Ian Anderson, and Angel Perdomo — freeing up three spots on the 40-man roster.
Catchers
—
Barring injury, these will be the only two catchers on the Opening Day roster, and hopefully, it stays that way the entire season. Â The Braves will likely add a third catcher to the mix that may take up a place on the 40-man roster as a safety net, but for now, the current 40-man roster sits at 25.
Infielders
—
By recently outrighting David Fletcher to Gwinnett, the Braves were able to clear another 40-man roster spot. However, unless they add another infielder, one could reasonably expect him back in the fold by the time Opening Day rolls around. But for now, the 40-man roster sits at 30.
Outfielders
- Ronald Acuña Jr.
- Marcell Ozuna
- Jarred Kelenic
- Forrest Wall
- Michael Harris II
—
As of now, the Braves current 40-man roster sits at 35 players, but with at least three pitchers heading to the 60-day IL before the start of the season, there are really eight spots available, meaning plenty more moves are coming down the pike in the coming months.
