NEW YORK — Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Reynaldo López left his start against the New York Mets on Sunday after three innings because of tightness in his throwing forearm. Atlanta said the move was precautionary. López is headed to Atlanta for an MRI. Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said the team expected to learn more later on Sunday. López allowed three hits across three scoreless innings, striking out two. Three of López's final five pitches of the game were 95 mph or better and his last pitch was softly grounded out to second base.
