ATLANTA (Ticker) - The Atlanta Braves on Friday activated Chris Reitsma from the 15-day disabled list.
The righthander was placed on the DL on June 14 with a right elbow injury termed ulnar neuritis.
Reitsma started the season as the Braves' closer, but he has struggled all season. The 28-year-old is 1-2 with eight saves in 12 chances, but he has allowed 44 hits in 26 2/3 innings and his ERA is an abysmal 9.11.
In his last outing on June 11 against the Houston Astros, Reitsma was tagged for five runs and seven hits in two-thirds of an inning.
