Braves transferred INF Ramiro Pena from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Pena underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in late June. This was merely a procedural move.

The Braves may look to trade for a backup infielder and left-handed bench bat via a waivers trade this month. Ramiro Pena's season ended due to a torn right labrum in June. Earlier this week, Braves general manager Frank Wren was able to pull off a trade for Angels' reliever Scott Downs, who filled perhaps Atlanta's most pressing hole, but couldn't consummate a swap to fortify his bench. "I think there's a good chance (of another trade), once we have a better sense, get guys healthy, get the team functioning the way we see it functioning going forward - that's short of other injuries," Wren said. "I think we'll probably have some other activity, but all in all we're pretty happy. The club is playing as well as we've played all year long. There're a lot of positives."

Ramiro Pena will undergo surgery on Thursday to repair a torn right labrum. No timetable for his return has been given, but it would presumably be season-ending. Pena originally hurt the shoulder on June 9 and was finally placed on the DL late last week.

Ramiro Pena will receive a second opinion on his ailing right shoulder on Wednesday. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez declined to not what the first diagnosis is, which probably isn't a good sign. Pena originally hurt the shoulder on June 9 and was finally placed on the DL late last week.

Braves placed INF Ramiro Pena on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to June 17, with a right shoulder injury. Pena originally hurt the shoulder on June 9 and has been trying to play through the pain. It's not clear how long he'll be out. Paul Janish has taken his spot on the roster.

Ramiro Pena (shoulder) went 0-for-3 in his return to action Tuesday. Pena left Sunday's game with right shoulder soreness, but he made the start at third base Tuesday night. The 27-year-old is batting .283 with three homers and a .783 OPS in 48 games as a utility infielder this season.

Ramiro Pena felt some right shoulder soreness when having to dive on two separate occasions during Sunday's game. Pena had to leave the game due to the ailment. The good news is that he's available off the bench Monday and could be ready to start on Tuesday, if needed.

Ramiro Pena went 3-for-4 and knocked in four of Atlanta's 11 runs against the Blue Jays on Thursday. Many chuckled when the Braves gave Pena a major league deal as a minor league free agent, but no one is laughing now. The former Yankee has been outstanding in his utility role, hitting .319/.375/.486 with seven extra-base hits and 12 RBI in 72 at-bats. He was a .233/.266/.288 hitter in 313 at-bats entering the season.

Ramiro Pena launched a go-ahead two-run homer in a 6-4 win over the Nationals in 10 innings on Friday. The Braves trailed 4-0 at one point, but battled back in the ninth and went ahead with Pena's blast off Craig Stammen. It was just his third career homer in 188 games and his first since June 15, 2011 as a member of the Yankees. While it was a nice moment for the 27-year-old, he doesn't hold any value in fantasy leagues.

Ramiro Pena went 3-for-3 on Wednesday to raise his spring average to .306. With Paul Janish sidelined, Pena will have a spot on the Braves as a backup infielder. He might have had one anyway. He shouldn't have any fantasy value at all, though.
