The Atlanta Braves have placed pitcher Mike Foltynewicz on the 10-day disabled list with triceps tightness and reinstated Julio Teheran to take his place.
After Foltynewicz threw a bullpen session Saturday Andy Isabella Jersey , the team decided to give him extra rest in hopes of bringing him back next weekend. The right-hander left a start four days ago after pitching five scoreless innings against the New York Mets.
Foltynewicz is off to the best start of his four-year stay with Atlanta, going 5-4 in 14 starts with a 2.16 ERA that ranks third in the NL.

The funniest moment of the first episode of Hard Knocks on Tuesday came when rookie Johnathan Abram was seated across from quarterback Derek Carr at a restaurant. Abram asked Carr the pronunciation of “salmon.”It was hard to tell whether Abram was serious or joking when he debated Carr about whether the “l” was silent.Reporters asked Abram on Wednesday whether he really believed it was pronounced as “sal-mon.”“Sal-Mon, not salmon Jamel Dean Jersey ,” Abram said with a chuckle, via Scott Bair of NBCSportsBayArea.com. “I mean give me a couple words where the ‘l’ is silent.” Presented with the word “calf,” Abram offered his own pronunciation. “Like a CAL-F. You don’t hear the F?” Abram said. “I know a couple. Like could and should and would D.K. Metcalf Jersey , the L is silent. But I just think salmon should be SAL-MON instead of salmon.”The great salmon debate of Raiders camp continues.“It’s definitely salmon,” Carr said, laughing Nick Bosa Jersey , on Wednesday, via Bair. “I don’t know what he’s talking about. But like I said, that guy never needs to change.”
