RP - Atlanta Braves
Roster %
Eligibility
A.J. Minter signed a one-year deal worth $6.22 million with the Braves to avoid arbitration.
Fantasy Impact
Minter will remain with Atlanta right before he was set to qualify for free agency. He should remain in a key role at the end of the bullpen for the Braves.
A.J. Minter (shoulder) has been activated from the 15-day IL. AJ Smith-Shawver has been optioned to Triple-A.
Fantasy Impact
Minter has been out since 7/8 due to shoulder inflammation, but completed a rehab assignment and is ready to get back out there Monday. He should continue to be a set-up man and a good source of holds for fantasy managers.
A.J. Minter threw a scoreless rehab inning for Triple-A Gwinnett on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
The left-hander threw 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes and allowed a single and a double with one strikeout. This is perhaps the only rehab outing Minter will require as he's only been out since July 8 with the shoulder issue.
A.J. Minter earned his ninth save on the season in the Braves' win over Nationals.
Fantasy Impact
Minter allowed one hit and one earned run in his one inning of work, but was able to secure his ninth save of the season in the Braves' 6-4 victory over the Nationals on Saturday.
Minter had a perfect inning of work, retiring all three batters he faced, including one strikeout, to earn his eighth save of the season in the Braves' 7-5 victory over the Mets on Wednesday
Fantasy Impact
Minter has been inconsistent this season, but he has now lowered his ERA to 6.04. Despite the high ERA, Minter's underlying numbers are solid, including a 11.1 K/9 and a 2.95 FIP, suggesting that he could be in line for better results going forward.
