Atlanta Braves news, rumors and injuriesTue, 21 May 2013 16:49:35 -0700 Atlanta Braves RP Jordan Walden (shoulder) felt good Tuesday, May 21, but the team doesn't expect him to be ready to come off the disabled list when eligible Monday, May 27. The team wants him to throw a bullpen and make at least two minor league rehab outings before returning. He threw from 150 feet Tuesday and expects to throw a bullpen Wednesday, May 22. He said his shoulder is feeling strong. Share: Braves | Brandon Beachy to pitch Friday Tue, 21 May 2013 14:52:13 -0700 Atlanta Braves SP Brandon Beachy (elbow) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett Friday, May 24. Share: Braves | Jordan Walden feeling better Mon, 20 May 2013 16:14:11 -0700 Atlanta Braves RP Jordan Walden (shoulder) said he felt "pretty good" after playing catch Monday, May 20, and he hopes to come off the disabled list when eligible next Monday. Walden will back up to 90 feet Tuesday, May 21, after throwing from 60 feet Monday. The team wants to have Walden make some minor league rehab outings before returning. Fantasy Tip: Walden will be counted on as a top setup man now with Jonny Venters (elbow) and Eric O'Flaherty (elbow) out for the season. He could become the primary eighth-inning bridge to Craig Kimbrel once he's healthy, too. Share: Braves | Craig Kimbrel unavailable Mon, 20 May 2013 15:49:29 -0700 Atlanta Braves RP Craig Kimbrel is unavailable to pitch Monday, May 20, after saving all three games over the weekend. RPs Luis Avilan and Cory Gearrin will be mixed and matched late in the game if a save situation arises Monday against the Minnesota Twins. Fantasy Tip: Avilan and Gearrin shouldn't be added for one day in case either get thrown into a save situation against the Twins. Both pitchers will be used heavily in setup roles now that Jonny Venters (elbow) and Eric O'Flaherty (elbow) are out for the season. Share: Braves | Eric O'Flaherty expected to need Tommy John surgery Sun, 19 May 2013 12:30:37 -0700 Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves RP Eric O'Flaherty (elbow) will visit Dr. James Andrews Monday, May 20. He is expected to need season-ending Tommy John surgery, although he is holding out hope that he could pitch again this year after resting for several weeks. "I'm trying to be optimistic, but they're making surgery appointments already," O'Flaherty said. "I don't know, it's not looking too good. The vibe I'm getting from doctors and the front office and stuff, it seems like they're not too optimistic." Share: Braves | Joe Beimel signs Sat, 18 May 2013 19:04:38 -0700 The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent RP Joe Beimel (Pirates) to a minor-league deal Saturday, May 18. Share: Braves | Eric O'Flaherty has severe injury Sat, 18 May 2013 19:04:12 -0700 Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves RP Eric O'Flaherty (elbow) had an MRI Saturday, May 18, which showed a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament. O'Flaherty is expected to visit renowned Dr. James Andrews later this week. Share: Braves | Eric O'Flaherty placed on disabled list Sat, 18 May 2013 13:01:15 -0700 The Atlanta Braves have placed RP Eric O'Flaherty (elbow) on the 15-day disabled list because of a left elbow strain. In a corresponding move, P Cory Rasmus has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. Share: Braves | B.J. Upton dropped to eighth Fri, 17 May 2013 20:18:28 -0700 Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez dropped OF B.J. Upton to the eighth spot of the lineup Friday, May 17, against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Upton responded by going hitless in four at-bats, dropping his season average to .141. Share: Braves | Jason Heyward solid in return Fri, 17 May 2013 20:15:22 -0700 Atlanta Braves OF Jason Heyward (appendectomy) went 2-for-4 with a double, walk, two runs scored, RBI and a strikeout Friday, May 17, against the Los Angeles Dodgers in his first game back from the 15-day disabled list. Share: Braves | Jason Heyward activated Fri, 17 May 2013 12:20:48 -0700 The Atlanta Braves activated OF Jason Heyward (appendix) from the 15-day disabled list Friday, May 17, and placed RP Jordan Walden (shoulder) on the DL with right shoulder inflammation. Fantasy Tip: Get Heyward back into your lineups as soon as possible. His return takes whatever fleeting value Reed Johnson and Jordan Schafer had in NL-only leagues. It might be tougher to get Evan Gattis into the lineup now, too. Share: Braves | Jonny Venters having surgery again Thu, 16 May 2013 12:27:55 -0700 Atlanta Braves RP Jonny Venters (elbow) will undergo his second Tommy John surgery of his career and will miss the rest of the year. He underwent the elbow reconstruction to fix the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow Thursday, May 16. Fantasy Tip: Venters was used heavily out of the Braves' 'pen the last few seasons, and it has caught up to him. Craig Kimbrel is the unquestioned closer on this team, but Eric O'Flaherty and Jordan Walden will have bigger roles as setup men as a result. Share: Braves | Brandon Beachy to begin rehab stint Wed, 15 May 2013 06:32:52 -0700 Atlanta Braves SP Brandon Beachy (elbow) will begin his rehab assignment at Triple-A Gwinnett Sunday, May 19. Fantasy Tip: He should need 2-3 starts before returning. Start stashing him if you haven't done so already. Share: Braves | Brandon Beachy throws Tue, 14 May 2013 16:40:52 -0700 Atlanta Braves SP Brandon Beachy (elbow) threw 29 pitches in two extended spring training innings Tuesday, May 14, and he topped out at 92-93 mph. He'll throw one more time in extended spring training before heading to Triple-A Gwinnett. Fantasy Tip: Beachy is humming along in his rehab and appears to be ahead of schedule. Temper your expectations, though, since most pitchers making a return from Tommy John surgery suffer some sort of setback along the way. Put him on your radar in deep mixed leagues for now and keep tabs on his performances during a minor league rehab stint. Share: Braves | B.J. Upton out Tue, 14 May 2013 16:38:12 -0700 Atlanta Braves OF B.J. Upton (shoulder) is out of the lineup Tuesday, May 14, but he's available if needed. He said his shoulder wasn't as sore Tuesday, and he hopes to return Wednesday, May 15. Share:  |
