KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) The Atlanta Braves got close to their season-opening roster limit Saturday, adding outfielder Drew Stubbs and pitcher Alexi Ogando to the roster from Triple-A Gwinnett and designating for assignment outfielders Michael Bourn and Emilio Bonifacio.

Stubbs signed a minor league contract Wednesday, a day after opting out of his contract with the Texas Rangers. He went 0 for 5 in two exhibition games with Atlanta.

The moves leave the Braves with 26 players, including the 13 position players who will open the season on the 25-man roster.

The Braves open Monday at home against the Washington Nationals.
