The Atlanta Braves have made another move as Opening Day quickly approaches. Fan favorite utilityman Charlie Culberson was released by the club on Friday.

The 34-year-old agreed to a minor league deal in January and served as a reliever in three Spring Training games. Though he is loved by Braves fans, it was virtually impossible for Culberson to make the major league roster as a pitcher.

Culberson now enters free agency and will hopefully be picked up by another club.
