Braves reinstate Matt Adams

Before their game against the Nationals on Monday night, the Braves announced they have reinstated infielder Matt Adams from the 10-day injured list. He was placed on the IL on Aug. 5 with a left hamstring strain.

Adams, who was released by the Mets on July 18, had his contract selected by the Braves five days later, after they signed him to a minor league contract July 20. Adams is hitting .212 this season, with two home runs and seven RBIs.

“Just talking to the training staff and Matt, and I think it’s something where he’s been around a little bit, and he’ll be able to manage it,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “But I just saw him. He just got done running and said he felt great. So it’ll be good to have him there.”
