The Braves have placed Teheran on the 15-day DL Tuesday with a right lat strain.
It's unclear at this time how much recovery time Teheran will need, but since the Braves are out of the playoff race, expect them to be extra careful with their ace. Teheran will be eligible to return to pitch as early as August 14. After a rocky 2015, Teheran has had a really strong 2016 campaign, supporting a 2.81 ERA and 0.95 WHIP with 119 strikeouts in 134.2 innings. This move opened up room to put Matt Kemp on the Braves 25-man roster.
