A.J. Minter Should Be Ready For Opening Day
6 years agoAtlanta Braves relief pitcher A.J. Minter said he's no longer bothered by left shoulder tightness after he was in a fender bender last week. The left-hander hasn't been cleared to resume throwing off a mound, but manager Brian Snitker thinks the reliever will be ready by Opening Day. Minter was great last year (3.23 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 15 saves) and will fight for the ninth-inning job with Arodys Vizcaino. He's worth late-round speculation for saves in mixed leagues in case he wins the gig.
