Anderson hits 10-day injured list
Braves placed INF Brian Anderson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 22, with a bacterial infection. Anderson was not with Atlanta Monday while dealing with the lower-body infection, and he’ll now be out for at least a week while recovering. The 31-year-old is replaced on the roster by Luke Williams, with Williams being recalled from Triple-A in the corresponding transaction.
Nootbaar progresses in rehab
Lars Nootbaar (oblique) progressed to taking on-field batting practice on Tuesday. It was Nootbaar’s first time hitting on the field since landing on the injured list back in late May with a moderate oblique strain. The 26-year-old outfielder, who has been snake-bitten by injuries this season, told reporters afterwards that he’s close to heading out on a rehab assignment. Barring something unexpected, he should be back at some point in early July.
