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.

Jonny Venters (elbow) will visit Dr. James Andrews on Thursday.
Venters was able to throw a 15-pitch bullpen session on Friday, but he's still feeling some soreness in his left elbow. It's possible the southpaw will require a second Tommy John surgery. Even in a best-case scenario, he's not going to return to the Braves' bullpen for a while.

David O'Brien on Twitter
Jonny Venters (elbow) threw a 15-pitch bullpen session on Friday and claimed that the ball came out of his hand great.
Venters acknowledged that he's still experiencing soreness in his left elbow, and will wait to see how he feels tomorrow before deciding the next course of action. It's certainly more encouraging news than having to stop his bullpen session on Thursday due to the elbow discomfort, but he's still a long way from returning to the bullpen.

David O'Brien on Twitter
Jonny Venters had to stop Thursday's bullpen session halfway through due to soreness in his left elbow.
Not good. Venters was scheduled to throw 15-20 pitches, but he made it only halfway through before shutting things down. The Braves were hoping that a platelet-rich plasma injection would do the trick, but the southpaw might be facing season-ending surgery.

Evan Gattis
D.L.
Braves placed C Evan Gattis on the 15-day disabled list with a strained oblique.
No word on how or when the injury occurred, but oblique strains usually require some extended rest. Gattis has been one of the best stories in baseball this season, coming out of nowhere to hit .252 with 14 home runs and a .894 OPS in 53 games. Tyler Pastornicky will take his place on the active roster while Gerald Laird will function as the primary backup to Brian McCann.

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.

Brandon Beachy
D.L.
An MRI on Brandon Beachy's elbow taken Saturday showed no structural damage.
Beachy was scratched from his scheduled start against the Mets with tenderness, but the MRI showed only fluid and no damage to the elbow itself. That's good news, as it just requires rest. The Braves aren't hurting for a starter at the moment, so they'll give Beachy all the time he needs as he continues to work his way back from last year's Tommy John surgery.

Eric O'Flaherty

Eric O'Flaherty will undergo Tommy John surgery on Tuesday to repair a torn left ulnar collateral ligament.
It was inevitable after an MRI over the weekend revealed the bad news. In addition to obviously missing the rest of this season, O'Flaherty will likely be sidelined for the first couple months of the 2014 campaign, as well.

Luis Ayala

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.

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.
