Atlanta Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez was removed from Tuesday night’s game against the host Washington Nationals because of right shoulder tightness.
Lopez made it through just one scoreless inning, allowing a double and hitting batter while striking out one. He was relieved by Jesse Chavez.
Lopez, an All-Star right-hander, was making his fourth start since a monthlong stint on the injured list due to tightness in his right forearm.
He took an 8-5 record and a 2.04 ERA into Tuesday night’s start.
