Julio Teheran threw six scoreless innings in Sunday night's win over the Giants
He gave up seven hits, one walk, and was removed after 94 pitches. Teheran has now averaged at least five strikeouts and less than three earned runs in four of his last six starts. With Brandon Beachy (elbow) dealing with a setback, the Braves will continue to postpone making any decisions about their starting rotation. Jun 16 - 11:33 PM

Julio Teheran allowed five runs on six hits over six innings in the Braves' loss to the Padres on Monday.

He struck out three and didn't walk a batter. The precocious 22-year-old, coming off a dominant performance last week against this same Padres team (eight scoreless innings), was hit hard this time around. He ceded two long balls, to Will Venable and Logan Forsythe, respectively, which accounted for four of the runs registered to his ledger. Teheran (3.62 ERA) remains a must-start in standard formats, but carries game-to-game risk inherent to any young hurler still learning to harness his powers.

Julio Teheran tossed eight scoreless innings Wednesday as the Braves blanked the Pirates 5-0.

Teheran did not surrender a hit until Brandon Inge laced a two-out single to left field in the bottom of the eighth inning. The talented 22-year-old had everything working against a slumping Bucs offense and wound up tallying 11 strikeouts against two walks, allowing the Braves to finish off a three-game sweep. Teheran will carry an improving 3.30 ERA and 1.21 WHIP into his next start against the Padres. He's an obvious must-start right now in standard fantasy leagues.
Jun 5 - 3:44 PM

Julio Teheran allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings in the Braves' loss to the Nationals on Friday.

Teheran has gotten steadily better as the season has gone on, and after Friday's outing he's now turned in five-straight quality starts. Although he allowed three runs, his nine strikeouts in Friday's game were the most he's registered in a start this season. Despite falling to 3-2, Teheran has a 3.71 ERA through 10 starts and is finally starting to deliver on the promise he showed a few years back. His next start will come Wednesday against the surprising Pirates.
May 31 - 10:38 PM

Julio Teheran allowed one run on five hits over 6 2/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Mets.

Teheran took a shutout into the ninth inning in his last start and was able to continue his hot streak on Sunday night. He had five strikeouts, three walks, and was removed in the seventh inning at 93 pitches. After allowing at least four runs in each of his first three outings, Teheran has put together four straight quality starts. The Braves are going to have a tough decision on whether to keep Teheran in their rotation when Brandon Beachy returns from the disabled list.
May 26 - 11:14 PM

Julio Teheran allowed one run over 8 1/3 innings in the Braves' 5-1 victory over the Twins on Monday.

Teheran had a shutout going until Josh Willingham spoiled it by homering with one out in the ninth. It was the first time in 12 major league starts that he pitched beyond seven innings. He's allowed just nine runs over 33 2/3 innings in his last five starts, and the Braves are now 7-1 in his outings this season.
May 20 - 10:27 PM

Julio Teheran took his first loss after allowing two runs in six innings Tuesday against the Diamondbacks.

The Braves had been 6-0 in Teheran's starts, largely because they scored at least six runs in five of those games. Teheran was pretty shaky in the early going, but now he's allowed eight runs over 25 1/3 innings in his last four starts. He's walked just one batter in that span.
May 15 - 12:35 AM

Julio Teheran yielded three runs in seven innings Thursday in a win over the Giants.

Teheran allowed an RBI single to Buster Posey in the first inning and two more in the third on a Posey homer, but he held the Giants off the board the rest of the way. The rookie right-hander scattered seven hits while walking none and notching three strikeouts. Teheran has allowed just six runs over his last three starts, lowering his ERA from 7.31 to 4.84 in the process. He's picking up momentum in fantasy leagues and will try to keep it going next week when he faces the Diamondbacks.
May 10 - 1:44 AM

Julio Teheran yielded two runs and 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings Monday in a no-decision against the Nationals.

Teheran struck out five and walked one, and nine of the 10 hits he allowed were singles. Still, he's now given up 39 hits in 28 1/3 innings this season. DIPS would say he's due for better luck, but we'll see. The Braves haven't suffered in his outings; even though he's given them just one quality start so far, they're 5-0 with him on the mound.
Apr 29 - 10:21 PM

Julio Teheran had another disappointing performance Thursday by allowing four runs in five innings in no-decision against the Pirates.

Teheran kept the Braves in the game after a rough start in his last outing against the Nationals, but he was all over the place in this one. The rookie right-hander threw just 48 out of 87 pitches for strikes while allowing seven hits (including two homers) and three walks. He also hit two batters. The Braves will keep him running him out there, but he should be left inactive next week for a tough assignment in Colorado.
Apr 18 - 10:52 PM

Julio Teheran yielded four runs in six innings Friday in a no-decision against the Nationals.

Teheran was touched up for a two-run homer by Bryce Harper in the first inning and gave up a pair of RBI singles in the second, but he settled down from there and kept the Braves in the game. He struck out six in the no-decision. The rookie right-hander owns a 7.36 ERA through his first two starts, so he has been a disappointment after a strong spring, but he has a favorable matchup against the Pirates next week.
Apr 12 - 11:03 PM

Julio Teheran was hammered for five earned runs over five innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Cubs.

Teheran was bailed out by Justin Upton, who hit a walkoff home run -- his second home run of the game -- in the ninth inning. Teheran had a really good spring and was hoping to ride that momentum into the regular season. But it doesn't look like it's happening. He's a risky fantasy play next week against the Nationals.
Apr 6 - 10:38 PM

Julio Teheran dominated the Astros on Saturday, striking out 10 in six hitless innings for his third victory.

And to think, all indications are that the Diamondbacks could have had Teheran, rather than Randall Delgado, in the Justin Upton deal. Though it would have meant skimping a bit on the rest of the package. Teheran has been this spring's breakout pitcher with his 1.04 ERA to date. He should be picked up in any mixed leagues in which he's still available.
Mar 23 - 5:42 PM

Julio Teheran struck out seven while pitching six innings of one-run ball Sunday against the Mets.

Jordany Valdespin's homer was one of three hits allowed by Teheran. For as long as he's been around, Teheran is just 22 years old. He's having a very impressive spring, so he might be worth trying in the late rounds of mixed leagues.
Mar 17 - 4:17 PM

Julio Teheran held the Cardinals hitless for five innings Tuesday in the Braves' 12-3 win.

Teheran struck out six and walked two while lowering his spring ERA to 1.29. We were skeptical he'd be of much use in NL-only leagues as the Braves' likely fifth starter, but his work this month has been very encouraging.
