Braves move Mike Minor to the 60-day DL

Braves pitcher Mike Minor won't be returning to the team until June, at the earliest. 

Minor opened the season on the 15-day disabled list, with shoulder inflammation that shut him down during spring training. 

The team shifted him to the 60-day DL on Saturday, opening up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Pedro Ciriaco, purchased from Triple-A. 

John Hart said, "There has not been any measurable improvements that you want to see. At this point, things havent progressed," per MLB.com.

"We dont see him coming back anytime soon," Hart added.
