Chris Johnson went 2-for-4 with a double against the Pirates on Saturday.
Johnson is now hitting a ridiculous .418 with two home runs on the season. He's been playing first base in Freddie Freeman's absence, but with Freeman's return imminent he'll likely return to third. Johnson is part of a platoon with Juan Francisco at the hot corner but when Johnson is hitting like this it's hard to imagine he won't get the bulk of the playing time.
Apr 20 - 9:40 PM
Chris Johnson delivered three singles in four at-bats against the Marlins on Monday.
The Braves have said they don't plan to use Evan Gattis at first base, so the position will belong to Johnson for the two weeks that Freddie Freeman is out. It makes him a nice short-term choice in NL-only leagues.
Apr 8 - 10:11 PM
Chris Johnson had a two-run homer and an RBI single as the Braves topped their Double-A Mississippi affiliate 10-0 on Saturday.
Not counting today, Johnson hit .361/.365/.514 with three homers and 12 RBI in 72 at-bats this spring. It wasn't as good as Juan Francisco's March, so Johnson will probably play primarily against left-handers initially. Still, he could get a look as a regular if Francisco struggles.
Mar 30 - 5:47 PM
Chris Johnson went 3-for-4 and homered off the Mets' Jon Niese on Sunday.
Johnson had been in a little 3-for-18 slump, but he's hitting .305 with three homers in 48 at-bats for the spring. Juan Francisco has been better, hitting .311 with four homers in 45 at-bats. We'd still like to see a platoon set up at third for the Braves, but it's possible Johnson will be the main guy early on.

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.

Brandon Beachy
D.L.
Brandon Beachy (elbow) allowed two runs over four innings in his first minor league rehab start Friday with Triple-A Gwinnett.
It was his first game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery last June. Beachy is expected to make around five starts in the minors, so he should be an option for the Braves' rotation in 3-4 weeks if he can avoid setbacks.

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

Eric O'Flaherty
D.L.
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.
May 20
4
Jordan Walden
D.L.
Jordan Walden (shoulder) threw a bullpen session at Citi Field on Friday.
If Walden can avoid setbacks, he should be cleared for a rehab assignment and rejoin the Braves at some point next week. With Eric O'Flaherty out for the season, Walden is likely to return in a setup role with Luis Avilan.
May 25
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.
