Yastrzemski Lands on IL With Left Elbow Inflammation
The Braves outfielder is sidelined after developing inflammation in his left elbow, cutting short a recent stretch of improved hitting.
The Braves officially placed Mike Yastrzemski on the 10-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation. Yastrzemski signed a two-year, $23MM deal with Atlanta last December but has posted a modest .230/.321/.365 slash line with six home runs in 262 plate appearances. He had shown signs of life at the plate recently before the injury intervened. Outfielder Brewer Hicklen was called up to help fill the void on the active roster.
