In December, the Atlanta Braves re-signed Eric O’Flaherty to a minor league contract with a spring training invite. Now they are cutting the roster down in time for Opening Day and it is seems very likely that he gets a bullpen spot.
In 2016, O’Flaherty did not have a good time as he struggled for Atlanta, posting a 6.91 ERA. To add to that, he experienced multiple injuries before the Braves decided to shut him down. The 32-year-old underwent another elbow surgery this offseason, which led to many to believe for him to not have any impact this season.
