To make space for Minor on the lively roster, it can be most likely the Braves will choice 1 of the further relievers they've carried while using a four-man rotation the past week. 
Small also is scheduled to start in opposition to San Diego on Could 31, when the Braves will want a fifth starter once again right after a slew of off-days. Small was optioned to Gwinnett on April 8. He's 2-2 having a two.56 ERA in eight starts from the Minors this yr.
ANAHEIM -- Tommy Hanson expects to have combined emotions as he watches Sunday's rubber match in opposition to the Angels. 
On the one hand, he wants the Braves to consider the three-game Interleague sequence. But he isn't going to always want their ELLSBURY grey jersey to arrive with the expense of lifelong good friend Tyler Chatwood, who obtained the start for that Angels. 
Hanson and Chatwood's people have a extended history with each other -- Hanson's grandfather coached Chatwood's dad in youth baseball -- and Hanson has recognized Chatwood considering that the 21-year-old right-hander was born.
