Camargo or Riley possibly could be sent down, and not given a super-sub. job on the roster. According to MLBTR comes this:
Johan Camargo and Austin Riley are competing for not only the Braves’ starting third base job, but also potentially a spot on the 26-man roster altogether. Manager Brian Snitker told reporters (including The Athletic’s David O’Brien) that he feels both Camargo and Riley are best served by everyday playing time, rather than splitting third base in a platoon or one player working in a backup role. Sending one of the duo down to Triple-A is “not out of the question,” Snitker said. “They’ve got (minor-league) options, and if long term, for the health of our ballclub that’s (what) we see fit, that could happen.”
I think Johan Camargo gets the 3rd base job and Austin Riley gets sent down to Gwinnett. If Austin Riley is in Gwinnett most of the season i could see him as part of a trade later on in the season.

Per MLBTR:

It has now been nearly three weeks since news emerged that Braves starter Cole Hamels wouldn’t be ready to report to Spring Training on time due to some shoulder irritation. There’s still no timeline in place for him to get back to action, manager Brian Snitker said today, as David O’Brien of The Athletic reports (Twitter links).

Heard Gabe Burns of the AJC say if the season started today, King Felix would be in the rotation.

I have a feeling Cole Hamels will be a waste and will be on the injured list on and off all season. He sounds like a washed up has been to me at this point. King Felix has impressed me though.

Yes, his breaking ball has been the difference, even though it’s ST still.

I’m a Hamels fan. Resigned to him missing a month, now. The guy has been primarily healthy throughout his career. Guess we have to hope he will now be extra fresh in October ;) !

Bowman also has commented that King Felix leads for a rotation spot, and if placed on the MLB roster, the salary would be 1 million dollars for the season.
