Updates on 10 former Braves players around the majors:
Jason Heyward, OF
St. Louis Cardinals
Heyward is hitting just .213, but he did hit his first home run with his new team and got a dugout curtain call from St. Louis fans after doing it.
Craig Kimbrel, P
San Diego Padres
The closer gave up runs in two consecutive outings, the first of which resulted in Kimbrel getting his first loss with San Diego. He has five saves and a 2.45 ERA.
Dan Uggla, 2B
Washington Nationals
It’s not good when you are hitting .129 and you don’t even match that in the past week (hitting .125). But that’s what Uggla is doing. He has one RBI in 10 games.
Evan Gattis, OF-DH
Houston Astros
He went 0-for-5 with three Ks on Tuesday, and that’s the second time he’s done that in 14 games with Houston. He’s hitting .109 and has fanned 21 times in 55 at-bats.
Justin Upton, OF
San Diego Padres
Upton has been slowed by a mild quad strain and hit only .190 in the past week. He has three homers and eight RBIs and is hitting .288 through 16 games.
Brian McCann, C-1B
New York Yankees
McCann legged out a triple Saturday, his fourth in 4,929 career plate appearances. He has just one homer this season and is hitting .224 with eight RBIs.
Tim Hudson, P
San Francisco Giants
He’s 0-2 after giving up five runs in five innings in his previous start. That upped his ERA to 3.93. Hudson has given up 19 hits in 18 1/3 innings and walked seven, too.
Jeff Francoeur, OF
Philadelphia Phillies
He’s hitting .225 while playing for his seventh major-league team. But Francoeur is on pace for a 20-homer season, with two homers (and four RBIs) in 14 games.
Aaron Harang, P
Philadelphia Phillies
The Phillies are bad, 5-11 bad, but Harang has been one bright spot with a 2-1 record and a 1.96 ERA in his 13th season in the majors.
Brandon Beachy, P
Los Angeles Dodgers
He’s already throwing bullpen sessions as he recovers from elbow surgery, and the Dodgers hope he will be ready to go in games by June.
