ATLANTA -- When Mike Foltynewicz returned to Turner Field on Thursday afternoon, he was still attempting to regain the strength he lost while spending the past week battling pneumonia. But the Braves right-hander remains hopeful he will soon be back on the mound.
"It just [stinks] that something like that sidelined me," Foltynewicz said. "It wasn't an actual injury or anything. I just got sick. I feel really bad because I put my teammates in a bad situation."
When Foltynewicz was unable to make his scheduled start against the Marlins on Sept. 2, the Braves recalled Williams Perez from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier than expected.
