Braves reliever Matzek to IL with elbow injury
Written by I Dig Sports
ATLANTA -- The Braves lost another reliever to an injury on Tuesday when they placed left-hander Tyler Matzek on the 15-day injured list with left elbow inflammation.
The Braves place right-hander Pierce Johnson on the 15-day IL on Sunday with right elbow inflammation.
The move with Matzek came after he allowed three runs while recording only two outs in Saturday night's 11-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 33-year-old has a 9.90 ERA in 11 games this season, allowing 11 runs in 10 innings.
The Braves recalled left-hander Ray Kerr from Triple-A Gwinnett before Tuesday night's game against the Boston Red Sox.
