Atlanta Braves

The left-hander lasted only three innings, allowing one run on two hits and three walks during a 4-3 loss. Wood (0-1) struck out five, but he was plagued by a high pitch count and a callous on his left hand. Wood needed 73 pitches (38 strikes) to make it through three innings. A callous plit on his index finger, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Wood said he could have kept pitching, but manager Fredi Gonzalez said he pulled him because of the combination of high pitch count and the finger issue.

Wood was just a spot starter because of the doubleheader and is headed back to the bullpen.

It was Freeman's second straight three-hit performance, making him 22 of 62 with two home runs and 14 RBI in June. He passed Chris Johnson in this game for the team lead in batting average (.327 in 223 at-bats).

Hudson is 0-5 with a 4.47 ERA in his last eight starts. He has allowed one run in three of his last four starts and has pitched at least seven innings in four straight starts.

"I feel good about how I'm throwing the ball," Hudson said, per MLB.com. "If I keep throwing it the way I'm throwing, the wins will come. I feel like our team has been playing pretty well. I just happened to be out there on the mound when the other pitcher is throwing a pretty good game."

Schafer came into play Tuesday batting .231 (3 for 13) with two RBI and five strikeouts in 12 June games (one start).

Maholm allowed just two runs in seven innings, but the Braves didn't score until after he left the game. He tossed six scoreless innings to open the game, allowing just a two-run homer in the seventh inning.

Maholm allowed just the two runs on nine hits and no walks, while striking out seven. Despite the solid start, Maholm was saddled with the loss in a 6-1 final. He is 7-6 on the season with a 3.57 ERA.

Maholm will make his next start Sunday against the Brewers in Milwaukee. 

I understand why his owner might cut him. With his ever-changing role, he's been the embodiment of uncertainty this season, and his oblique injury might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back. But we've already seen that he's perfectly capable of maintaining big power numbers even with sporadic at-bats. They might even help him, to some degree. His home runs often come in bunches after a few days off.

And who knows? While he's on the DL, the Braves may lose someone else to injury. Brian McCann, Freddie Freeman or anyone in the outfield would free up regular at-bats for Gattis. With the power he offers at a weak position, grabbing him now may prove to be the smartest decision you make all season.

Teheran has allowed five runs over his last three starts (20 innings). He has a 3.36 ERA and a 1.20 WHIP in 13 starts. He is scheduled to make his next start Friday at Milwaukee. He is 2-2 with a 4.12 ERA in seven starts away from Turner Field.

Kimbrel has not surrendered a run since he blew a save May 7. He has 16 strikeouts and four walks in his 12 innings since. His ERA has gone from 3.38 to 1.71 over that span. 

McCann will be replaced by Evan Gattis, who will bat fifth against Dillon Gee. McCann is hitting .250/.347/.471 in 104 at-bats this season. McCann should return to the lineup Tuesday against Mets ace Matt Harvey.
