Atlanta's A.J. Minter (shoulder) likely out for Opening Day
Atlanta Braves reliever A.J. Minter (shoulder) is unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, manager Brian Snitker conceded Sunday.
What It Means:
Minter is dealing with tightness in his pitching shoulder. He remains limited to flat-ground work and doesn't appear to have a timeline to return. Arodys Vizcaino will open the year as Atlanta's ninth-inning man.
numberFire's models currently expect Minter to pick up 4 saves and record a 3.32 ERA with 70 strikeouts across 57 innings this season.
