⚾ Braves — Spring Training
🌟 Rookie watch: JR Ritchie is making a strong impression in his first two Grapefruit League appearances. While he'd likely benefit from more Triple-A time, his performance has manager Walt Weiss at least considering whether he could crack the roster.

🇨🇼 WBC stars: Ozzie Albies and Jurickson Profar will represent Curacao in the upcoming World Baseball Classic — playing for their childhood idol, Hall of Famer Andruw Jones. "I've known Andruw since I was a young guy," Profar said.
📋 Spring storylines: Top prospects are taking advantage of Spring Training to showcase their skills. Meanwhile, the 3-team NL East race continues to generate debate about whether a surprise team could make it four.
