	2	Blake DeWitt D.L. Braves placed INF Blake DeWitt on the 15-day disabled list with a lower back strain. DeWitt appeared in four games with the Braves as a utility infielder. He should be optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett once he's deemed healthy enough to return. Apr 20

	6	Brandon Beachy D.L. Brandon Beachy (elbow) will make his first official minor league rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett. Beachy was cleared after he threw 29 pitches over two innings Tuesday during a start in extended spring training. He's expected to make around five starts in the minors, which puts him on pace to join the Braves around the anniversary of his Tommy John surgery on June 21. He's well worth stashing in most fantasy leagues. May 15
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Craig Kimbrel
	2	Jonny Venters D.L. Jonny Venters underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Thursday afternoon. It's the second time he's had the procedure in his baseball career. Venters can now be ruled out for the remainder of the 2013 season and is also likely to miss the first couple months of the 2014 campaign. It's obviously a pretty big loss for the Atlanta bullpen. May 16
	3	Eric O'Flaherty D.L. An MRI taken Saturday on Eric O'Flaherty's left arm revealed a torn ulnar collateral ligament. That's the injury that almost always leads to Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. O'Flaherty will visit Dr. James Andrews next week and is likely out for the year. The Atlanta bullpen continues to take big hits. May 18
	4	Jordan Walden D.L. Braves placed RHP Jordan Walden on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 12, with right shoulder inflammation. It's an injury that we hadn't heard about until now, but perhaps we should have known something was up with Walden allowing five runs over his last three appearances (1 1/3 innings). It's not clear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. May 17
	5	Luis Ayala D.L. Braves placed RHP Luis Ayala on the 15-day disabled list with anxiety disorder. Obviously it's impossible to predict how much time Ayala might miss. David Carpenter has been recalled to take his spot in the bullpen. Apr 30
	6	Cristhian Martinez D.L. Cristhian Martinez (shoulder) still doesn't have a timetable for his return. The Braves reliever has been sidelined since April 12 with a right shoulder sprain, and apparently it was serious enough that the Braves still don't have any idea when he might be back. The right-hander had a 3.91 ERA with 65 strikeouts in 73 2/3 innings last year. May 4
