Braves place Aaron Blair on the 15-day DL with left knee strain

Aaron Blair’s return to the major league team has hit another snag, as the rookie pitcher has suffered a knee strain and will be headed to the disabled list.

Last week, Aaron Blair returned to the Braves’ major league squad and had a less-than-stellar start against the Giants. Shortly afterwards, the Braves announced that they’d be skipping his turn in the rotation, with Mark Bowman reporting that the reasoning behind this was so that Blair could work on his mechanics.

Unfortunately, Aaron Blair will be missing more than just one turn in the rotation, and he’s got a bit more than just his mechanics to work on.
