37 Brandon Beachy, SP

Braves pitcher Brandon Beachy suffered a minor setback in his most recent start for Triple-A Gwinnett Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Beachy, who was less than a week from returning, underwent an MRI Saturday, which revealed no structural damage but some fluid in his elbow. He will need some rest before he can pitch again. The Braves have not established a new timetable for the his return. He went 2-1 with a 3.27 ERA in five minor-league rehab starts.

"The last time I spoke to Beach and Bubba [head athletic trainer Jeff Porter], we were just going to back off a little bit and let that thing calm down and then restart," Gonzalez said. "They didn't give me a timeframe, how many days or anything like that. They're just going to kind of let it cool down or settle a little bit before you do anything."

Braves general manager Frank Wren told the team's radio network Friday that pitcher Brandon Beachy (elbow) will not start in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

Beachy gave up three runs on three hits and four walks while striking out four in three innings in his most recent start for Triple-A Gwinnett Thursday. He is still dealing with mild elbow tenderness. The Braves have not announced who will take his place.

"We feel like pushing him back a little bit, giving him a little more time is the prudent thing to do," Wren said.

Braves general manager Frank Wren told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that pitcher Brandon Beachy (elbow) is "not set in stone" to start in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets.

"It’s a step at a time, we’ll see," he said.
