Gerald Laird went 1-for-3 in a rare start against the Mets on Sunday.

He has just four hits this month. Laird had four multi-hit games in April, but Atlanta understandably has no interest trotting him out with Evan Gattis and Brian McCann also on the roster. Outside of ocean-deep NL-only leagues, Laird (.267/.340/.311 over 53 plate appearances) can be ignored in fantasy. May 27 - 12:46 AM

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

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
	11	Alex Wood
	12	Cory Rasmus
