5 years agoAtlanta Braves pitcher Sean Newcomb was placed on the seven-day injured list on Wednesday. Newcomb was hit in the head by a line drive back on June 15 and while it was unclear for a while how much time he'd miss, the Braves will clearly be without him for at least a few days now. The Braves recalled pitcher Huascar Ynoa to replace Newcomb. Newcomb has 20 appearances this season, four of them starts, with a 2.38 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, and 29-12 K-BB ratio in 34 innings. From a fantasy perspective, there isn't much reason to keep him rostered through the IL stay unless you have the injury reserve space.--Nathaniel Green
