Braves' Mark Melancon: Back issues surface

Melancon was unavailable for Saturday's extra-inning win over the Mets because his back locked up during the game, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The issue cropped up before the Braves even considered having him warm up. Manager Brian Snitker believes it's not serious and that Melancon will be okay to pitch during Sunday's series finale, though it's worth keeping an eye on his status in case the injury lingers.
