Contreras will be on Atlanta's Opening Day roster, barring any late roster additions, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Atlanta is set behind the plate for 2022 with Travis d'Arnaud and Manny Pina, but Contreras has been seeing some action in the outfield and third base, which will help him make the team with two extra roster spots until May 1. The 24-year-old hit .215/.303/.399 with eight home runs and 23 RBI in 185 plate appearances in the majors last season, and he's likely to see sporadic playing time.
