AJ Smith-Shawver Placed On 60-Day Injured List Due To Right Elbow Strain

AJ Smith-Shawver's injury affects the Braves' starting rotation. He had pitched 44 1/3 innings over 9 games this season. With a record of 3-2 and an ERA of 3.86, his absence will be felt.

The Braves need to rely on other starters like Chris Sale and Spencer Strider in upcoming games. Smith-Shawver's previous arm injuries might have impacted his recent performances. The team faces the Boston Red Sox next, and they will look to their bullpen for support.
