Grilli (Achilles) is on track to be ready for spring training, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

EDGE Analysis

The right-hander was excelling in the closer role for Atlanta before a ruptured left Achilles' tendon ended his season in July. Apparently, the 39-year-old is on track in his recovery and should be afforded a normal spring, but Arodys Vizcaino put his stamp on the job after Grilli went down and currently projects to open 2016 as the Braves' endgamer.
