Atlanta Braves Announce New Coaching Staff

Matt Tuiasosopo, Tom Goodwin, and Erick Abreu fill key coaching roles following departures of Ron Washington and Eric Young.

Matt Tuiasosopo, former Triple-A Gwinnett manager, has been promoted to the role of third-base coach for the Atlanta Braves, replacing Ron Washington.
Tom Goodwin, who served two years as a roving instructor in the minors, will take over as first-base coach from Eric Young.
Erick Abreu, who spent the last nine seasons as a pitching coach in the Houston Astros organization, will become Atlanta's new bullpen coach, replacing Drew French.
Washington and Young have both joined the coaching staff of the Los Angeles Angels.
Atlanta bench coach Walt Weiss will assume the additional role of overseeing the infielders, a duty previously handled by Washington, with Tuiasosopo assisting in his new duties.
