Atlanta Braves’ thin bullpen just got thinner

The Atlanta Braves found gold in the arm of Anthony Swarzak after picking him up from Seattle just over 6 weeks ago.

Unfortunately, they have now also found a shoulder having trouble with the load he’s been carrying.

The #Braves today placed RHP Anthony Swarzak on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 29, with right shoulder inflammation and recalled RHP Chad Sobotka from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Swarzak is 33 years old – will turn 34 in mid-September – and has been so much better than had to be expected for Atlanta.
