Former Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez was working for MLB as an umpire supervisor when the Braves were playing in his current hometown of Philadelphia last week. He spent time catching up with his good friend Brian Snitker in the visitor’s clubhouse before the series opener.

"We need to look for every area that we can get better," Braves president of baseball operations Alex Anthopoulos said.

The Atlanta Braves brought back former manager Fredi Gonzalez back to coach third base on Tuesday after a series of base-running blunders.
