The next 2 games will be on TV and on MLB.TV as free games of the day. 

Fried starts on Tuesday.

Freddy Tarnok and Alan Rangel pitched today and then were optioned. Rangel gave up a cheap homer but looked good otherwise -- FB hitting ~96, curve and change working. Could be a bullpen option at some point this season.

Ynoa looked really good. FB looked to be 94-97, good shape to the curve. Command shaky early, but the Twins could never get the barrel squared up. Second inning was even better, mixed in the change-up, had good fade and placement. Efficient.

Kyle Wright will start tomorrow. In his mailbag column today, Mark Bowman notes that Braves may be bringing Huascar Ynoa along a little slower given he ended last year with a sore shoulder.

Possibly use him to open just to get him some light work?

Yes, but i wouldn't read anything by it. Waters has a hamstring tweak. Neither Waters nor Harris are going to make the club out of spring.

Yeah I didn't expect either to, just wondering if he is getting an extended look in case CF becomes an issue.

Or would Waters get that chance first? Feel like he's been in the system a while now.

Waters has the advantage of already being on the 40-man, so if it's just to fill in a temporary gap I would expect Waters to get the nod if he's healthy.

If it's for someone to actually carry the freight, it would be whomever the team thought would perform better (*cough*Harris*cough*).
