Teheran (back) will throw off flat ground Saturday, David O'Brien of the AJC reports.
Saturday marks the first time Teheran will pick a ball back up after landing on the DL earlier in the week. Given that he's throwing off flat ground, the Braves likely will still need him to progress to throwing off a mound and then tossing bullpen sessions before considering activating their ace. An update on the next step of Teheran's rehab process figures to be made available Sunday when the team can gauge how his back responded to the increased activity.
