3 years agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson (shoulder) will have his shoulder examined by a doctor on Tuesday following his abbreviated start on Sunday, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. The team is hoping that Anderson is just dealing with fatigue, but manager Brian Snitker suggested that this issue could be more than that. O'Brien adds that it appears likely Anderson could face a stint on the injured list as a result of this issue. Anderson allowed four runs on six hits and five walks while striking out four in 2 1/3 innings of work before his exit. He has been having a nice year on the mound otherwise, going 5-4 with a 3.27 ERA, 1.164 WHIP and 24.4 percent strikeout rate over 93 2/3 innings of work entering Sunday. Managers should monitor this situation closely, and check for updates from the team later this week.--Michael Grennell - RotoBaller
