JR Ritchie is one of the Atlanta Braves best pitching prospects, but his status has been unknown since he left his start early on May 6th. Mark Bowman dropped a little bit of extra information, and unfortunately he is reporting that it’s Ritchie’s elbow that is the cause for concern. This is a pretty big blow for the system at the moment, as Ritchie had been off to a tremendous start to the season prior to his injury.
JR Ritchie, one of last year's first-round picks, is currently on Low A Augusta's injured list with an elbow injury.
