Robert Suarez Hits IL With Forearm Tightness
Atlanta's key setup man is sidelined through the All-Star Break, though the team and manager downplayed the severity of the injury.
The Braves placed Robert Suarez on the 15-day IL retroactive to June 23 due to forearm tightness. He had been unavailable for several days with a previously undisclosed issue while the team monitored whether an IL stint was necessary. Manager Walt Weiss downplayed the injury's severity, and Suarez is expected to return early in the second half. Hurston Waldrep was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to fill his roster spot.
