Juan Francisco hit his first career grand slam Wednesday off the Reds' J.J. Hoover.
Those two were traded for one another a year ago, so this had to feel especially good for Francisco. The homer was his fifth in 75 at-bats this season. His 28/4 K/BB ratio is less than encouraging, but he's been a nice starter against right-handed pitching so far.
May 8 - 4:42 PM
Juan Francisco (ankle) went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts Tuesday in his return to action.
Francisco suffered a mild right ankle sprain on Friday, but it was never a major concern. The 25-year-old is hitting .282/.320/.465 with four homers, 12 RBI and a .785 OPS through 22 games this season.
May 8 - 11:55 AM
Juan Francisco (ankle) reported improvement Sunday but is not yet ready to play.
Francisco was diagnosed with a mild right ankle sprain after leaving Friday's game. It sounds like he'll have a good chance to return to play against his former club when the Braves begin a series in Cincinnati on Monday.
May 5 - 12:02 PM

Juan Francisco was diagnosed with a mild right ankle sprain and is considered day-to-day.
With as bad as the injury appeared, the Braves and Francisco can breathe a sigh of relief that it's just a mild strain. He was trying to get back to second base in the third inning on Friday's game, when he switched directions and badly rolled his ankle trying to get back to second base. Chris Johnson should get the bulk of the playing time at third base for now.

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.
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
D.L.
Jordan Walden (shoulder) will not be ready to be activated from the disabled list next Monday.
That's the first day he's eligible to return, but the right-hander is not quite far along enough. Walden will throw a bullpen session later this week and then head out on a short minor league rehab assignment. He should be ready for activation just before the end of May.
May 21

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

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.
