"Three of the players that seem to have at least a small chance to make the Opening Day roster now that Profar will not be on the team are Kyle Farmer, José Azocar, and Brett Wisely. They were all responsible in the third inning for scoring the go ahead runs. Azocar led off the inning with a walk, and after Mateo doubled, Wisely knocked in Azocar. Kyle Farmer then continued his hot spring by having a single of his own to knock in a run."
"On the pitching side of things, López was clearly a guy to keep an eye on. Unfortunately, he struggled in this one. He gave up a walk and a single in the first inning but was able to get out of the inning by getting back-to-back strikeouts, but it was clear he was not having his best stuff. In the second inning he had a clean inning while picking up two more strikeouts. He gave up a triple in the third inning to Trevor Story."
The Atlanta Braves played the Boston Red Sox in a spring training game with Reynaldo López pitching against one of the strongest lineups he has faced since his injury. The Red Sox fielded most starters while the Braves used primarily hitters competing for final roster spots. The Braves scored in the third inning through Kyle Farmer, José Azocar, and Brett Wisely, who are competing for Opening Day roster consideration following Profar's unavailability. López showed inconsistency on the mound, recording strikeouts but also allowing hits including a triple to Trevor Story. Despite loading the bases in the fourth inning, the Braves could not capitalize, and a late ninth-inning run proved insufficient to overcome the deficit.
