Kris Medlen allowed five runs (three earned) on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings Sunday in a loss to the Giants.
Medlen gave up home runs to Pablo Sandoval and Brandon Belt in consecutive innings, and struggled with his control (five walks) before he was removed in the sixth inning after working up a high pitch count. Despite his solid 3.44 ERA, Medlen has just one win this season. He'll look to get things turned around in his next start vs. the Dodgers
May 12 - 9:20 PM
Kris Medlen allowed two runs in seven innings, but he failed to get the win as the Reds came back in the bottom of the ninth inning on Tuesday.
Medlen hasn't had much luck this season, as he's 1-4 but has pitched well enough to deserve a better fate in many of his starts. He's not the pitcher he was in 2012, but this year's version is still plenty serviceable for fantasy purposes. Continue to start him going forward, with his next start coming Sunday against the Giants.
May 7 - 11:31 PM
Kris Medlen fell to 1-3 on the year after he was tagged for five runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Tigers on Saturday.
Medlen was touched up for a career-high 10 hits in the loss, including two home runs. He struck out three and walked two. Medlen allowed three runs or less in his previous four outings this season, so we wouldn't make too much out of today's clunker. He'll attempt to rebound next Thursday when he faces the Nationals in Atlanta.
Apr 27 - 4:19 PM
Kris Medlen registered a quality start but suffered a loss Sunday, giving up three runs over six frames against the Pirates.
Medlen allowed seven hits, walked one and struck out six. The diminutive righty out-pitched his counterpart, Jonathan Sanchez, but the Pirates' bullpen was able to hold the Braves in check. Medlen has managed just one win in four tries despite a 2.16 ERA and 1.16 WHIP. He'll try to get in the win column next weekend in Detroit.

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) 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
