Braves' Emilio Bonifacio: Makes Opening Day roster

Bonifacio has been told he will make the Opening Day roster, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

The veteran utility man hasn't officially been added to the 40-man roster yet, but Bonifacio seemed assured of a job after Micah Johnson (wrist) got hurt, leaving the Braves without any other viable options in camp to handle center field behind Ender Inciarte. Bonifacio's playing time will likely be limited, but if he does work his way into the starting lineup he could become a cheap source of steals.
