With Brandon Beachy no longer an option to pitch in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is considering starting rookie Alex Wood Tuesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Wood, who last pitched out of the bullpen Friday, took batting practice for the first time Saturday, which is a strong indication he could make his first major-league start.
"I’m kind of open. We’re seeing how we get through these next couple days and see what our options are," Gonzalez said about starting the rookie left-hander.
