Minor has been scratched from his scheduled Grapefruit League outing Sunday with tightness in his left shoulder. This is troubling news for the Braves, as Minor battled shoulder issues throughout 2014, though the team is saying he was scratched for precautionary reasons. Apparently, the tightness first surfaced Tuesday and the team wants to tread carefully. Atlanta has yet to name a replacement for Sunday's game against Houston, but if Minor is forced to miss more than one turn, it will likely open the door for the likes of Mike Foltynewicz and Manny Banuelos to see additional starting opportunities.
