Jose Veras Released
This morning, a cut was announced:
#Braves released veteran reliever Jose Veras, a non-roster invitee to spring training.
— David O'Brien (@DOBrienATL) March 19, 2015
Expected to compete for a bullpen slot when signed up, Veras just hasn’t been very good: in 6 games (5.1 innings), he walked seven and struck out 4 while giving up 8 hits and seven earned runs (11.81 ERA).
Our Ryan thinks he knows who the beneficiary of this move will be:
With the #Braves release of Veras, I'd say Kohn's spot on the 25-man just got secured.
