NEW YORK -- Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Reynaldo Lopez left his start against the New York Mets on Sunday after three innings because of tightness in his throwing forearm.

Atlanta said the move was precautionary.

A 2024 All-Star, Lopez allowed three hits across three scoreless innings, striking out two. Three of Lopez's final five pitches of the game were 95 mph or better and his last pitch -- an 85.7 mph slider to New York's Brandon Nimmo -- was softly grounded out to second base.
