Kolby Allard put on 60-day IL with nerve inflammation on shoulder

The Atlanta Braves have put Kolby Allard on the 60-day injured list after tests showed the left-hander is suffering from nerve inflammation on shoulder.

The 25-year-old was forced of the pitch in the 8-1 loss to the Chicago Whites Sox, explaining to the head coach he felt “something tingling in his fingers”.

“I just noticed him moving his arm and his shoulder and something didn’t look right,” manager Snitker said after the game.

Allard allowed four runs on seven hits in 1 1/3 innings and has a 6.57 ERA in four games, including three starts.
