Brook Hill-ex AJ Minter placed on Atlanta Braves injured list | Sports

ATLANTA, Ga. – AJ Minter has been placed on the 15-day injured list by the Atlanta Braves due to left hip inflammation.

Minter is the eighth key contributor the Braves have lost to injury this season.

The 30-year-old, out of Brook Hill School, has been a mainstay in Atlanta’s bullpen this season. In 25 games, he was 5-3 with a 2.95 ERA.

Minter, who played collegiately at Texas A&M, pitched 21.1 innings and allowed 15 hits while striking out 23 and issuing six walks. Opponents are hitting a paltry .197 against him.

Jimmy Hergot was called up from the Braves’ Triple-A affiliate in Gwinnett, Georgia, to replace Minter on the roster.
