It was his first game action since his concussion at the end of May. Saltalamacchia was transferred from the 7-day to the 15-day disabled list Monday, but it won't have an impact on his timetable. It looks like he could be back within the next couple of days.

Realmuto will continue handling the catching duties while Salty is out.

Precautionary X-rays on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's ankle came back negative.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia went 3-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Braves.

Salty was a triple shy of the cycle -- he had five in 2,071 career at-bats coming into the game, so the odds weren't in his favor -- and raised his line to .284/.404/.554 for the season. The catcher has also connected for five home runs in his first month with his new team. Maybe the only complaint with his season thus far is that all five of those homers have been solo shots, leaving him with just eight RBI to show for his otherwise productive April.

Salty will get to play near where he grew up, but the move isn't good news for his fantasy value, as he'll be on a poor offensive team and in a cavernous ballpark. The 28-year-old batted .244/.306/.457 during his three full seasons in Boston, averaging 18 homers and 60 RBI per year.
