Braves' Yonny Chirinos: Placed on IL with elbow injury

Atlanta placed Chirinos on the 15-day injured list Monday with right elbow inflammation.

Chirinos seemingly had been set to lose his rotation spot due to performance, but instead he'll go on the IL and will be sidelined at least until early September. Allan Winans was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move and will replace Chirinos in the rotation beginning with Monday's game against the Mets.
