The Atlanta Braves put Pablo Sandoval on the restricted list Tuesday as the reserve infielder deals with a personal matter.
The Braves recalled right-handed pitcher Jacob Webb in a corresponding move.
Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters the move to place Sandoval on the restricted list seems negative but that it's not. Generally players are placed on the restricted list if they've left the team without a valid reason.
Sandoval is hitting .203 with four home runs in 64 at-bats. He has just one hit in his last 27 plate appearances.
