Jake Odorizzi was originally penciled in to start Saturday’s matchup for the Atlanta Braves against the Miami Marlins. However, he was scratched this morning and was replaced by Bryce Elder who was recalled from Gwinnett. Braves manager Brian Snitker said that Odorizzi is fine, but was dealing with what they are calling arm fatigue.
“He’s fine. Just got a little arm fatigue, we’re calling it,” Snitker said. “Nothing bad. It’s just an opportunity with the extra pitchers that we can fire somebody in here. Then the fact that we got Jesse back to give us some length.
