Atlanta Braves News
The Atlanta Braves homered five times, including a pair from Brian McCann, to help them come away with a 7-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The Braves placed right-hander Kevin Gausman on the injured list due plantar fasciitis in his right foot on Tuesday and recalled reliever A.J. Minter from Triple-A Gwinnett.
The team also announced that Sean Newcomb would take Gausman’s place in the rotation on Saturday provided he isn’t needed out of the bullpen between now and then. Additionally, Josh Donaldson was hit with a one-game suspension for his part in Monday’s bench clearing incident against the Pirates.
