Braves placed RHP Robert Suarez on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 23, with a right forearm strain.

Suarez has been battling tightness in his forearm for the past few days and rather than continuing to play short-handed, they opted to shut him down and make sure that he gets right. Hurston Waldrep was activated from the injured list to take Suarez’s spot on the club’s active roster on Friday.
