Braves sent first baseman Scott Thorman outright to Triple-A Richmond.
It's about time the Braves came to their senses and realized that no one was going to pick up Thorman. It's a move that should have been made last summer when Mark Teixeira was picked up. Thorman's exit would appear to clear a spot for Joe Borchard to make the team. However, it remains quite likely that the Braves will acquire another bench player.


Braves claimed infielder Ruben Gotay off waivers from the Mets.
The Braves didn't want to carry Brent Lillibridge as a bench player, so Gotay will join Martin Prado to give the Braves two backup infielders until Omar Infante returns in late April. At that point, the one of the two playing better figures to stay. Gotay should get the odd start at second base versus a lefty, but it's doubtful that he'll have any fantasy value.
