Teheran (4-8) surrendered three runs on five hits while striking at four over five innings in the Braves' 9-5 loss to the Phillies on Saturday night.
While the truncated started was likely precautionary -- the 25-year-old didn't return for the sixth inning after throwing just 86 pitches (56 strikes) -- Teheran didn't quite seem himself, as he struggled with precision, and his fastball idled in the mid-80s all night. Teheran has yet to come away with a win at home this season, despite a 3.08 ERA in 12 starts at Turner Field. He's scheduled to next take the mound in St. Louis on Friday.
