Braves right-hander Mike Foltynewicz has been hospitalized because of blood clots in his throwing arm, assistant general manager John Coppolella said on Sunday.

Coppolella said Foltynewicz felt pain in the arm Thursday night and it was reddened and swollen when he reported to Turner Field on Friday. The team sent Foltynewicz to the emergency room.
