LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Atlanta Braves placed right-hander Reynaldo López on the 15-day injured list on Monday because of an inflamed right shoulder.

López allowed nine hits and three runs in a loss to San Diego on Friday night in his season debut. The move to the injured list was made retroactive to Saturday.

The Braves recalled right-hander Bryce Elder from Triple-A Gwinnett to take López’s spot on the active roster. Elder went 2-5 with a 6.52 ERA in 10 starts for Atlanta last season

López went 8-5 with a 1.99 ERA in 2024 in his first year with the Braves.
