The Atlanta Braves placed left-hander A.J. Minter on the 15-day injured list on Saturday due to shoulder inflammation in his pitching shoulder.
The move is retroactive to Wednesday.
Atlanta recalled right-hander Dereck Rodriguez from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.
Minter, 29, departed the July 8 game against the Tampa Bay Rays due to what the team termed pectoral tightness. The club indicated a shoulder injury with the IL transaction.
Minter is 3-5 with 10 saves and a 4.91 ERA in 44 appearances. His career high for saves is 15 in 2018.
Rodriguez, 31, made a two-inning scoreless appearance for the Braves earlier this season. He is 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA in 11 appearances (three starts) for Gwinnett since being claimed off waivers from the Minnesota Twins in mid-May.
