ATLANTA - Two-time All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis is one of 25 non-roster players who have been invited by the Atlanta Braves to spring training. The Braves previously reached minor league deals with veteran infielders Pablo Sandoval and Ehire Adrianza. The 31-year-old Adrianza would receive a $1.5 million, one-year contract if added to the Braves’ 40-man roster. Another veteran, right-hander Carl Edwards Jr., also has been invited to spring training as a non-roster player. The Braves’ first workout for pitchers and catchers is scheduled for Thursday as they begin their second full spring training at CoolToday Park in North Port, Florida.
