The Atlanta Braves opened a roster spot when they put Rio Ruiz on waivers last week. With Ruiz now with the Baltimore Orioles, the Braves could fill that roster spot with today’s Rule 5 draft. Who are players that the team could select?
The Atlanta Braves will have the 20th selection in the draft at noon Eastern. Three teams selecting ahead of the Braves have full rosters, so they will not be able to select anyone. The Braves currently have 39 players on their 40-man roster, so they could select one player in the draft.
