Braves place Mike Yastrzemski on injured list ahead of Cardinals game

The Atlanta Braves placed outfielder Mike Yastrzemski on the 10-day injured list due to left elbow inflammation. This roster change is among several moves made before their upcoming game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Yastrzemski's absence adds to the team's challenges in outfield depth. Brewer Hicklen is called up to fill his spot, while pitcher James Karinchak is optioned to Triple-A. The Braves also outrighted outfielder Jose Azocar to Gwinnett and transferred pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver's rehabilitation assignment to the Stripers.
