In the wake of some kind of injury to starting pitcher Scott Kazmir, the Atlanta Braves have decided to release the veteran – and swallow the $16 million still remaining on his contract.
MLBTR had this to say about the injury:
After pitching a scoreless inning today in a Grapefruit League game, Kazmir left the mound with what was described at the time as arm fatigue.
This represents a surprising turn-around, given that Kazmir had shown some promise of a return to health – though without anything resembling dominating ‘stuff’.
