PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Though the Braves have a good idea about how most of their Opening Day roster will look, they do not expect to finalize their decisions until they get a better feel for which potential bullpen or bench options might become available at some point this week.
The latest player to join Atlanta's potential roster mix is right-handed reliever David Hernandez, who signed a Minor League deal on Sunday and will report to big league camp on Monday. Hernandez essentially serves as insurance if the Braves don't choose to keep Chaz Roe, another veteran righty who is out of options.
