Braves releases outfielder before Opening Day
Jordan Luplow in an Atlanta Braves uniformIt's crunch time for MLB teams as spring training winds down with Opening Day looming. Teams are making tough decisions when it comes to cutting its roster down to 26 players and some veteran players are getting the boot across the league. Jordan Luplow is the latest to lose his job after the Atlanta Braves released him on Thursday night, the team announced.
Luplow wasn’t having a bad spring, recording a .985 OPS across 33 plate appearances with three homers and seven RBIs. He was a possible option off the bench for the Braves but will ultimately end up with a new team and should get a shot at making another Opening Day roster.
