The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver on the 15-day injured list after suffering an elbow strain during a game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The injury occurred when he took a line drive to the leg and subsequently felt a 'pop' in his elbow. This prompted an immediate exit from the game for further evaluation. In his place, the Braves recalled Michael Petersen. The Braves' recent games have mixed results, including Chris Sale achieving his 2,500th strikeout.
Smith-Shawver exited the game in the third after taking a line drive to the leg off the bat of Bryson Stott. He tried to stay in the game, but in an isolated incident, he felt a 'pop' in his elbow, which ultimately did him in.
To take Smith-Shawver's spot on the roster, the club recalled Michael Petersen.
