1. Kyle Wright

-

Wright impressed Tuesday against the Yankees, and his next outing is around the corner. He’s proved to be perhaps even more advanced than expected. He remains our leader by a hair.

2. Touki Toussaint

Toussaint entered camp the favorite for the job. His last outing was his best, when he tossed three scoreless innings against the Tigers, who hit him for five earned runs in he previous outing.

3. Max Fried

Fried looked excellent against the Phillies on Friday night, pitching 3⅔ innings, allowing one run and striking out four. It’s up in the air if he starts the season in the majors, but he’ll factor in the Braves’ plans.

4. Bryse Wilson

After getting roughed up by the Blue Jays on March 1, Wilson rebounded nicely with three

scoreless, one-hit innings against the Marlins on Wednesday. The Braves might let him get stretched out in Triple-A, but he should contribute as a starter and reliever during the season.

5. Kolby Allard

Allard has pitched in three games this spring, allowing one earned run in six innings. He’s trying to re-establish his value after a tough debut in the majors. He’s expected to start the season with Triple-A Gwinnett.

Others

Mike Soroka: A healthy Soroka could be the clear front-runner for the job, but his shoulder hasn’t cooperated. Soroka is working his way back and hopes to pitch in games toward the end of spring training. Luiz Gohara: Gohara has yet to pitch in a game this spring. He was optioned to minor league camp Friday as he tries to get healthy. — GABRIEL BURNS
