The Atlanta Braves are in search for a fifth starter for their rotation and Scott Kazmir was supposedly in the lead of that race. The door opened up when Luiz Gohara went down with a strained groin and then an ankle injury. Now, Kazmir may be dealing with his own injury.
After not pitching at all in 2017 after he was diagnosed with thoracic spine inflammation, Kazmir was traded from the Dodgers to the Braves this offseason. The 12-year veteran looked to be healthy as we entered this Spring Training, but injuries can pop up at any time.
