Prior List Alert – Kenshin Kawakami April 30, 2009

By: mbohn

The Atlanta Braves have pushed Kenshin Kawakami’s next start back due to soreness in his right shoulder. He was blown up on Sunday by the Reds, giving up eight earned runs in just 4.2 innings of work. When he was pitching in Japan, he was part of a six man rotation, so it is understandable that he needs time to adjust to taking the hill more frequently. However, it is never a good sign when a pitcher is experiencing discomfort in his throwing shoulder.
The Braves have not announced that they have any intentions of placing Kawakami on the Prior List, as far as I know. This move allows them to give dude three extra days of rest, while taking advantage of today’s off day to keep all of the other starters on their regular fifth day schedules. My fantasy advice is to cut ties with Kawakami until he shows that he can pitch in the Majors.
