Braves Put Nick Anderson On 60-Day Injured List
1 year agoThe Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Nick Anderson (shoulder) on the 60-day injured list (retroactive to July 8) with a right-shoulder strain on Thursday to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for outfielder Dalton Guthrie, who was claimed off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Guthrie was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett. It's a tough break for Anderson, who had been valuable this year in fantasy leagues that count holds. The 33-year-old reliever had posted a solid 3.06 ERA (3.11 FIP), 1.10 WHIP, one save, nine walks and 36 strikeouts in 35 1/3 relief innings in his first year in Atlanta. Anderson now won't be available to return to the Braves until September.
