2 years agoThe Atlanta Braves activated relief pitcher Kirby Yates (elbow) from the 60-day injured list on Wednesday. Yates had Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on his right arm in March of last year and hasn't pitched at all in the big leagues since 2020. On his minor league rehab assignment, he posted a nice 1.08 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, 10 strikeouts and two walks in 8 1/3 innings pitched between the Florida Complex League, Double-A Mississippi and Triple-A Gwinnett. The 35-year-old had 41 saves with the San Diego Padres back in 2019, but with Raisel Iglesias and Kenley Jansen already at the back end of the team's bullpen, it's unlikely that Yates will see many save chances to close out the year, if any at all.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
