Braves left-hander Mike Minor will miss the rest of the season after shoulder surgery. Once viewed as a key member of the Braves' young rotation, Minor was bothered by shoulder problems several times last season. Minor is making $5.6 million this season and, given his injury woes, the Braves could decide not to tender him a contract for 2016 rather than facing arbitration, making him a free agent. With Minor on the sideline, the Braves' rotation has struggled this season.
