Braves pitcher Julio Teheran will likely start on opening day, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez basically confirmed the news, though wouldn't say it with 100 percent certainty."Yeah, I think so," Gonzalez said when asked. "But I don’t even want to go there, because there’s so much stuff that could happen."
The move shouldn't come as a surprise. The 24-year-old Teheran made the All-Star team last year, and has been the team's best starter for a couple of seasons now.
Teheran is coming off a season in which he posted a 2.89 ERA over 221 innings last year.
