Alex Anthopoulos believes the Braves players will take the safety protocols seriously. He knows they better, or it could jeopardize the entire season for the Braves and other MLB teams.
Meanwhile, here are how some of the Braves players did in spring training.

Sean Newcomb’s return to the rotation went very well. He allowed two earned runs on eight hits in 9.0 innings, with two walks and 11 strikeouts. That’s an ERA of 2.00.
Felix Hernandez pitched in four games. He allowed three earned runs on 13 hits in 13.2 innings, with five walks and 14 strikeouts. His ERA was 1.98.
