DIVISIONAL OUTLOOK: NL East—Beachy nearing return

Atlanta Braves

Brandon Beachy (RHP, ATL) made his second minor league rehab start on May 29. He is expected to make three or four more appearances before the Braves will have to decide where he fits on the roster. Julio Teheran (RHP, ATL) would be the obvious choice to be bumped from the starting rotation, but after allowing 13 ER over his first three starts (16 IP), the 22-year-old has settled down. In his last six starts, Teheran has a 2.25 ERA, 5.0 Cmd and four quality starts in 40 IP.

As mentioned last week, 55 of Beachy’s 77 minor league appearances were as a reliever, so he has experience in that role. However, the team has given no indication that they’re considering moving him to the pen.

One option might be to trade Paul Maholm...
