Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Batting eighth tonight, Andrelton Simmons went 3-for-4 with two homers and four RBI to lead the Braves to a 7-4 victory over the Reds on Monday.

Simmons struggled to get on base hitting first or second for the Braves, but he's shown nice pop, hitting four homers in 107 at-bats. He now has more homers (seven) in 273 at-bats as a major leaguer than he did in 1,042 at-bats as a minor league (six).

May 6 - 11:23 PM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons went 3-for-5 with a solo home run as the Braves beat the Nationals on Tuesday.

Simmons scored three runs on the night hitting in the leadoff spot. The home run was just his second of the season, but he's shown that he's got a bit of pop in his bat. Hitting at the top of a very dangerous lineup is reason enough to make sure he's owned in mixed leagues.

Apr 30 - 10:38 PM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons went 2-for-4 with a double in a losing effort against the Tigers on Friday.

Simmons also struck out once in the game, one of 17 strikeouts recorded by Tigers’ starter Anibal Sanchez. After a very slow start to the season offensively, Simmons now has multi-hit games in three of his last four starts. He’s still hitting a disappointing .225 on the season, but has all the talent in the world and is certainly trending in the right direction.

Apr 26 - 9:53 PM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Rockies.

Simmons is getting a day off after playing both games in Tuesday's doubleheader. Ramiro Pena will start in his place at shortstop and bat leadoff.

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons hit a three-run homer Sunday in the Braves' victory over the Nationals.

Simmons belted his three-run blast off Gio Gonzalez in the third inning. It was his first home run of the season.

Apr 14 - 4:58 PM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons is not in Saturday's lineup.

Simmons missed two games earlier this week with a sprained thumb, but this doesn't appear to be injury related. The Braves are going with a left-handed heavy lineup against Stephen Strasburg, so Friday's hero Ramiro Pena will get the start at shortstop.

Apr 13 - 11:20 AM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons (thumb) is in the Braves' lineup Monday.

Simmons missed the last two games with a left thumb sprain. The Braves are keeping B.J. Upton in the leadoff spot for now, but it's not clear if an official decision has been made. Simmons is batting eighth Monday against the Marlins.

Apr 8 - 3:55 PM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons has been scratched from Saturday's lineup with a left thumb sprain.

The Braves are calling it a day-to-day situation. Simmons played all nine innings in Friday's game, so the injury isn't believed to be serious. Ramiro Pena will take his spot Saturday against the Cubs.

Apr 6 - 3:28 PM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons went 3-for-4 with a pair of homers in his return to Atlanta's lineup on Wednesday.

Simmons starred as The Netherlands' shortstop in the World Baseball Classic. There's still some question whether he'll be a successful leadoff hitter for the Braves this season, but his glove is so good that he's sure to stay in the lineup through any slumps.

Mar 20 - 5:42 PM

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Friday that he envisions the top third of his batting order as Andrelton Simmons, Jason Heyward and Justin Upton.

It's certainly a boon to the fantasy value of the 23-year-old shortstop, as he'll have ample opportunity to score runs hitting in front of Heyward and Upton. Heyward finished the 2012 season as the third hitter in the Braves lineup, but will gladly move up and let the younger Upton slide into that role.

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

According to high-ranking officials within the Rangers and Braves organizations, the Rangers attempted to acquire Andrelton Simmons then flip him to the Diamondbacks in a potential deal for Justin Upton.

The Braves were not interested in the swap, and the Rangers appear unwilling to part with either Elvis Andrus or Jurickson Profar in a trade for Upton at this time.

Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) finished 1-for-4 with two strikeouts in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

It was his first taste of live action since September 17. The young shortstop merely had a sore shoulder.

Andrelton Simmons - SS - Braves

Andrelton Simmons (shoulder) is not in the Braves' lineup Saturday.

With Paul Janish (shoulder) also out, the Braves will go with Martin Prado at shortstop. Mark Bowman of MLB.com confirms Simmons is expected back in the lineup Sunday.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Brian McCann
	2	Gerald Laird
	3	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. Jun 18
1B	1	Freddie Freeman
2B	1	Dan Uggla
	2	Blake DeWitt 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. Apr 20
SS	1	Andrelton Simmons
	2	Ramiro Pena
3B	1	Chris Johnson
LF	1	Justin Upton

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Tim Hudson
	2	Kris Medlen
	3	Paul Maholm
	4	Mike Minor
	5	Julio Teheran
	6	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. Jun 15
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Craig Kimbrel
	2	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
	3	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
	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. May 4
	7	Luis Avilan
	8	Cory Gearrin
	9	Anthony Varvaro
	10	David Carpenter
