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.”
The team also optioned RHP Chad Sobotka to the alternate training site in Gwinnett after Sunday’s 4-0 win against the Marlins.
