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 - 8:45 AM

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez confirmed that Brandon Beachy (elbow) remains "on target" to return before the All-Star break.

Beachy hasn't reported any setbacks in his throwing program and should rejoin the Braves' starting rotation around late-June. "He's pitched great," Gonzalez said. "If we gotta break camp tomorrow, he's our fifth (starter). He's pitched that well. We're going to give him an opportunity, I think, barring something crazy."

Brandon Beachy (elbow) has been throwing long-toss from 120 feet and is expecting to increase the distance to 150 feet within the next week.

Beachy had Tommy John surgery last June and is hoping to return to the Braves' starting rotation before this year's All-Star break. After stepping up the long-toss efforts, Beachy's next step will be simulating his throwing motion from flat ground. If everything goes according to plan, Beachy could be cleared to begin throwing off a mound with a controlled motion around the start of spring training.

Brandon Beachy - S - Braves

Brandon Beachy (elbow) is on track to begin throwing from a mound at the beginning of spring training.

Beachy is seven months removed from Tommy John surgery and is hoping to rejoin the Braves' rotation by mid-June. The 25-year-old right-hander posted a 2.00 ERA and 0.96 WHIP in 81 innings last season and should provide a big boost when he's ready to roll. Julio Teheran is the top candidate to hold down a rotation spot until Beachy is healthy.

Brandon Beachy - S - Braves

Brandon Beachy (elbow) is shooting for a mid-June return next season.

Beachy, who is recovering from June Tommy John surgery, has played catch from distances of 30, 45 and 90 feet over the last month and will be cleared to throw from a mound in a couple of months, assuming he has no setbacks. "They're starting to let me turn it loose," Beachy said. "They're restricting the distance and the quantity. But I get to just go play catch. It's nice. I feel somewhat like an athlete again, for a little bit, three times a week."

Brandon Beachy (elbow) threw Monday for the first time since undergoing season-ending Tommy John surgery in June.

Beachy threw from a distance of 30 feet, but he still considered it "better than nothing." He's scheduled to progress to 45 feet on Wednesday and is likely a few months from throwing from a mound. If all goes well, he could be an option to rejoin the Braves around the All-Star break next year.
