Braves place Mike Foltynewicz on DL with bone spurs in elbow

Mike Foltynewicz has been scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday and was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to bone spurs in his right elbow.

The Atlanta Braves placed starter Mike Foltynewicz on the disabled list late Friday night due to bone chips in his elbow. Foltynewicz was scheduled to start Saturday's game opposite of Clayton Kershaw but that assignment will now go to Bud Norris. Atlanta will announce a corresponding roster move prior to Saturday's game but are expected to add another pitcher to the bullpen.

The AJC's David O'Brien reports that an MRI and CT scan showed no structural damage in the elbow and that the injury is not serious.
