While Minter (shoulder) is no longer bothered by tightness in his pitching shoulder, he still hasn't been cleared for mound work, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
While the Braves are confident that Minter can ramp up in time for Opening Day, he and teammate Darren O'Day both have a few hurdles to clear to be ready with only three weeks of spring training remaining. Per Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Braves intend to have Minter share closing duties with Arodys Vizcaino this season, though those plans could change if Minter fails to progress as anticipated ahead of Opening Day.
