ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves have placed right-hander Chris Martin on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.
The move came after Martin’s workout showed ongoing problems. He complained of numbness in his fingers and was forced to leave a relief appearance Sunday at Philadelphia.
“He just had some discomfort still,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “… It wasn’t going to work so we had to shut him down for a period.”
When asked if Martin’s shoulder is the problem, Snitker said, “When he went and tried to throw yesterday, all of a sudden it became a concern.
