Braves News: A.J. Minter Returns to Atlanta, Updated MLB Top 100 Prospects, More.
The Atlanta Braves bullpen received a boost with the return of A.J. Minter.
The Braves enjoyed an off-day on Monday amidst a crucial home stand as the season passes the halfway point and enters July. Atlanta secured a series win over the Pittsburgh Pirates over the weekend but still struggled offensively in their loss on Sunday.
Fortunately, some good news arrived on Monday with the return of A.J. Minter. Minter missed a month of action due to a hip injury but has worked his way back to full health. The Braves hope his return will help maintain the bullpen’s reliability, playing a crucial role in close games, such as their win on Saturday. This strength could be vital as the Braves finish their home stand against the San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies.
