Pitchers Wright, Webb sent to minors

The Braves trimmed their roster by another two players, sending right-handers Kyle Wright and Jacob Webb to the minor league alternate training site.

Wednesday’s move confirmed that Bryse Wilson has leapfrogged Wright in the competition for the lone rotation opening. Huascar Ynoa is still another starter option, but it’s likely Wilson will begin the season as the team’s No. 5 while Mike Soroka continues working his way back from an Achilles injury.

Wright had an up-and-down spring, posting a 4.50 ERA in five outings. Webb had an option remaining, which worked against his roster bid. He had a 1.50 ERA with five strikeouts and no walks in six games. By optioning Webb, the Braves save a spot for a nonroster invitee, such as Nate Jones or Carl Edwards, or one of their relievers who’s out of options, like Luke Jackson or Grant Dayton. Notes from Wednesday: ■ Have yourself a day, Austin Riley. The Braves’ usual third baseman, who was manning right field Wednesday, blasted two homers that were measured at 428 and 442 feet, in a 6-3 loss to Pittsburgh. Riley was 5-for-25 without a homer entering the day.

■ Third baseman Jake Lamb was scratched from the lineup because he was “a little sore,” manager Brian Snitker said. Lamb is coming off his best game, in which he doubled and homered. Johan Camargo started in his place. Lamb is expected to return to the lineup today, Snitker said.

■ Ian Anderson allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings. He was followed by Carl Edwards, who struck out two and walked one in his scoreless inning. A.J. Minter allowed two runs on four hits, including a homer by Nick Gonzales, in his inning.

■ LHP Drew Smyly will make his third spring start today against the Rays. He has an 11.25 ERA (in a four-inning sample size).
