Braves’ bullpen plans coming into focus with latest spring training roster cut

The 2025 MLB season is a month away and spring training has provided the Atlanta Braves with a brief preview of their roster’s talent. The biggest question marks ahead of the season are who will be the fourth and fifth starters and how will the bullpen look?

There is a lot of pitching depth to evaluate and determine who is most ready to be on the Opening Day roster. The team has already had a few roster cuts with some of their young pitchers. It’s a tight field of pitchers so experience will be something valuable to the organization.

Braves re-assign veteran reliever Wander Suero to minor league camp after less-than-stellar outings

Atlanta announced another spring roster cut on Thursday and RHP Wander Suero was reassigned to minor league camp. This decreased the MLB spring roster to 53 players.

Suero was signed on a minor league deal with the Braves in December and appeared in two innings this spring. It wasn’t pretty as he earned a 9.00 ERA with two runs on four hits.

He looks exactly the same as he did over his last two MLB seasons with the Nationals in 2021 and the Dodgers in 2023. He appeared in one game with the Astros in 2024 and recorded one out. In 2021, he had a 6.33 ERA over 42.2 innings with 15 BB and 44 K. With the Dodgers in 2023, he appeared in eight innings with a 7.88 ERA, including five BB and nine K.

Suero pitched in the Angels minor league system in 2022 and was released during that summer after posting a 6.08 ERA over 23.2 innings. He pitched pretty well with Houston’s Triple-A affiliate last year, posting a 2.66 ERA over 67.2 innings with 33 BB and 71 K.

He found some success but the high amount of walks isn’t encouraging. There must be something the Braves still see in Suero as they didn’t just release him. He’ll clearly have a spot in the minor league system unless things go terribly wrong.
