Braves Place Ian Anderson On Injured List

By Anthony Franco | July 16, 2021 at 4:39pm CDT

The Braves announced today that right-hander Ian Anderson has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 13, with right shoulder inflammation. To replace him on the active roster, righty Touki Toussaint has been reinstated from the 60-day IL. Touissant will rejoin the 40-man roster, which had a vacancy but is now full.

An IL stint for Anderson has seemed likely for a few days, as manager Brian Snitker said earlier this week he was headed for further testing after experiencing some shoulder tightness. The diagnosis of inflammation rather than any sort of structural damage is certainly a relief, but Snitker told reporters (including Mark Bowman of MLB.com) he’d be shut down from throwing for seven to ten days.

Anderson hasn’t pitched at the superlative level of his 2020 rookie season, but he’s still having a solid campaign. The 23-year-old has worked 96 innings of 3.56 ERA/4.14 SIERA ball with strikeout and walk rates (24.3% and 9.7%, respectively) not far from league average.

It seems Toussaint will step into Anderson’s spot in the rotation, as Snitker said he’s scheduled to get the ball for next Tuesday’s game against the Padres (via David O’Brien of the Athletic). That’ll mark his season debut, as the 25-year-old landed on the IL at the end of Spring Training due to a shoulder strain. Toussaint tossed 95 innings between 2018-20, managing a 5.97 ERA with an average 24.3% strikeout percentage but an elevated 14.3% walk rate.

    Hope Anderson recovers well, and hope Touki carries over his fine work from those rehab starts to the show!

    Touki has always walked too many batters. If he can get that under control, he’ll be much more effective. He has good stuff.

      So if he stops being bad, he’ll be good?

        Yes.

        It’s not like he’s bad all the way around. He just nibbles too much.

    Oh CRAP, this 10 day IL is starting to smell like bad fish. If MLB is pulling a fast one, it needs to stop!

        Kyle Muller, Bryce Wilson, Kyle Wright. I mean, did you even look to see who else could have been selected? Even Sean Newcombe wants to get back in the saddle and from what we’ve seen with Toussaint, I would be open to it.

        Lost another too Manfred’s runner on 2nd base extra innings rule. I wonder why Joc didn’t start the game?

          Joc was late getting to Atlanta, and was activated two hours before the game. Bowman reported that the team wanted him to get settled in a bit.
