Atlanta Braves’ right launcher, AJ Smith-Shawver, left the start of Thursday with a right-cut injury after “feeling his pop”, according to the manager of the Braves, Brian Snitker.
During the third round of a possible defeat on the 5-4 road against the Philadelphia Phillies in the first match of a double, Smith-Shawver was struck with the right ankle by a return from Bryson Stott. After launching a warm -up field, the right -hander stayed in the match before grim while allowing a flyout at Trea Turner.
“Whenever you hear these words, when they describe the pain and” I felt something pop “, so it’s generally not really good,” said Snitker. “But we have to look at him first.”
Smith-Shawver was returned to Atlanta for additional tests. He had 3-2 with an MPM of 3.67 before Thursday, including a 3-0 sheet with an MPM of 3.27 during his last six departures.
He granted two points on three strokes on 2,2/3 rounds of a decision without a decision.
