Thursday’s game: Braves vs. Brewers

Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Julio Teheran (3-1, 4.33 ERA) vs. RH Matt Garza (2-5, 5.72)

What's new: Teheran's toughest outs in the Brewers lineup have been Jonathan Lucroy (4-for-6 with two doubles) and Jean Segura (4-for-9). He won't have to worry about either one because they are on the DL. Lucroy is out with a toe injury and Segura was placed on the DL Thursday with a broken right pinky finger. Segura was replaced by slick-fielding Venezuelan shortstop Luis Sardinas, who was called up from Triple-A. The Braves' recent Triple-A call-up, Todd Cunningham, has had quite a return to the big leagues. Cunningham has hit safely in each of his first four games since getting called up to replace the injured Kelly Johnson. Cunningham had back-to-back three-hit games Friday and Saturday in Miami and is hitting 9-for-15 (.600) with two doubles since his arrival.
