The Atlanta Braves have yet to tell SP Alex Wood if he'll be a starter or reliever to begin the season. Wood went 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA in five August starts last year but was then shifted to the bullpen. SP Gavin Floyd (elbow) is expected to return to the team in May after recovering from Tommy John surgery, and the team should only have one open spot in the rotation with SP Freddy Garcia competing for the spot, as well. The Braves only have one left-handed reliever in RP Luis Avilan, until RP Jonny Venters (elbow) returns from the disabled list in May or June.

Atlanta Braves SP Gavin Floyd (elbow) and RP Jonny Venters (elbow), both of whom are recovering from Tommy John surgeries, are upbeat about their chances of returning this season. "So far, so good," said Venters, who has been long tossing from 120 feet for the past couple of weeks. "I couldn't ask to feel any better. Ball's coming out good, my arm feels 'lifey.'" The Braves are being a bit more cautious with Venters because it's his second surgery of the type. Floyd has been throwing from a mound since early January, and his last four bullpens have been for 70-75 pitches. He threw 75 pitches, including changeups, Thursday, Feb. 13, and will mix in curves Sunday, Feb. 16. Floyd isn't putting a timetable on his return.
