In news that unfortunately doesn?t come as a big surprise, the Braves just announced that Ben Sheets was placed on the disabled list with right shoulder inflammation.
Sheets was very effective upon joining the Braves last month, allowing one run or less in four out of his first five starts, but he has a 7.71 ERA over his last three starts. The 34-year-old right-hander lasted just 4 1/3 innings last night against the Giants, allowing four runs on nine hits and three walks. He admitted 10 days ago that he was going through a bit of dead arm phase, so it looks like things got worse.
The Braves have been using six starters recently, but they?ll presumably return to a five-man rotation. Miguel Batista had his contract purchased from Triple-A Gwinnett to take Sheets? place on the active roster. The 41-year-old right-hander posted an ugly 4.82 ERA and 34/31 K/BB ratio over 46 2/3 innings with the Mets earlier this season before being released. Sorry, Craig Calcaterra.
