The Braves’ bullpen revealed a concerning injury update.
The bullpen of the Atlanta Braves suffered a significant blow before to their game against the Los Angeles Dodgers Tonight Game. Atlanta will now be without one of its best relievers for the foreseeable future after losing the opening game of the series.
Pierce Johnson, a right-hander, was promoted by the Braves, according to David O’Brien of The Athletic.
“This is a setback: Pierce Johnson, a top setup man for the Braves, was placed on a 15-day injured list due to inflammation in his elbow,” O’Brien stated. “They moved rehabbing LHP Angel Perdomo to the 60-day injured list to free up space on the 40-man roster.”
So far this season, Johnson has tossed 12 innings, had a 2-1 record, a 3.00 ERA, one save, and three holds. The 32-year-old has a 14-16 record with a 3.98 ERA in his career along with 35 holds and 14 saves.
What happens to Atlanta’s bullpen now? In the meanwhile, will the club be able to survive?
