The Atlanta Braves placed left-handed reliever Tyler Matzek, who has struggled since his return from Tommy John surgery, on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday because of inflammation in his throwing elbow.

The move is retroactive to Sunday. In a corresponding move, the Braves recalled left-hander Ray Kerr from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Matzek, 33, missed the entire 2023 season
