Braves starting pitcher Julio Teheran has his spot in the rotation guaranteed heading into the season, so his focus in spring training isn't going to be blowing people away. He is just working his way back into shape, though he looked pretty solid in his spring debut against the Nationals Saturday.
Teheran tossed a pair of scoreless innings, surrendering just two hits, both singles. He recorded four of his six outs via groundout, while setting down one batter via strikeout.
Teheran has the luxury of not having to worry about fighting for a rotation spot after posting a 3.20 ERA in 185 2/3 innings as a rookie in 2013. He also recently signed a six-year contract that buys out his arbitration years.
