The Atlanta Braves made the surprising decision to demote Ian Anderson to Triple-A on Sunday. Anderson has struggled throughout the season and with the Braves in a key stretch of the season, they needed to make a move in order to stay within reach of the NL East-leading Mets. Manager Brian Snitker broke the news to Anderson on Sunday morning and now his message to the struggling starter has been revealed, via David O’Brien of The Athletic.
Snitker told Ian Anderson this morning that he’d been optioned.
