Bad News and More Bad News
After a heartbreaking loss to the Reds in the bottom of the 9th last night, The Atlanta Braves were handed some more bad news. During the game last night, around 7:00 PM EST, reports surfaced about Mike Minor. Bill Shanks first reported on Twitter that Minor would be having surgery, and Braves beat writer, Mark Bowman relayed that message to Braves fans.
Minor started experiencing shoulder discomfort late in the season last year. After the off-season, he showed no immediate signs of relapse. It wasn’t until about the second week of spring that he began to feel tightness again.
