Teheran has the inside track to be the Braves' Opening Day stater, Gabe Burns of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
With Mike Foltynewicz (elbow) ruled out for Opening Day in Philadelphia, the Braves lack a traditional high-end option for the first game of the season, as everyone else is either injured, a rookie or coming off a middling season, like Teheran. However, it sounds like that honor will be given to Teheran based on seniority.
