BRAVES NEWS
The Braves made a move to acquire Danny Santana on Monday in an attempt to augment a bench that has been awful to start the season. Santana provides Atlanta a switch-hitter that can play multiple positions, much like Emilio Bonifacio would have five years ago, which makes it confusing as to why the Braves would keep Bonifacio on the roster while sending Lane Adams back to Gwinnett. Either way Santana should be a welcome addition given the current makeup of the bench.
Speaking of bench additions, Ryan Howard was expected to join those ranks at some point this season after signing a minor league deal with the Braves last month.
