A.J. Minter News
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter picked up his first save of the season in Monday's 2-0 win over the Cubs. Minter entered the game to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by two. He allowed a leadoff single and a walk but induced a ground-ball double play and ended the game with a flyout. Raisel Iglesias had pitched in two of the team's last three games, so Minter got the nod to close this one out. Minter has had closing experience in the past but has only converted one of four opportunities this season with a 3.57 ERA in 17 2/3 innings of work. He is worth a look in deeper roto leagues and saves-plus-holds leagues, but his fantasy value will remain limited overall if Iglesias is healthy.
Atlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day injured list on Monday. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since early June due to inflammation in his left shoulder. He appears healthy now and ready to rejoin the bullpen ahead of Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Before going down, Minter held a 4.91 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, with 50/10 K/BB ratio and 10 saves in 40.3 innings. The Braves will likely ease him back into his high-leverage role in the bullpen. In a corresponding move, right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver has been optioned to Triple-A.
Atlanta Braves left-hander A.J. Minter (shoulder) began his rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Gwinnett, Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. The 29-year-old has been on the shelf since earlier this month after experiencing shoulder tightness. It's a good sign for Minter, and he could return in early August if there are no setbacks. Across 40.1 innings this year, the seven-year veteran owns a 4.91 ERA (2.84 FIP) but with a 1.09 WHIP, 31.6% strikeout rate, 10 saves, and 11 holds. Despite his bloated ERA, he'll remain a solid option in hold formats once he's back.
