The Braves aren?t exactly sure about the level of severity of Brandon Beachy?s right elbow injury, but they?re resigned to the fact that the right-hander is going to be out for at least the next couple of weeks.
According to beat writer David O?Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Beachy was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday morning with what is currently being labeled as ?elbow discomfort.?
Beachy will undergo a dye-contrast MRI on Monday in a search for answers. Team physicians are optimistic that he?s merely dealing with bone chips, which would only require a minor surgical procedure. But it?s quite possible that the situation is far worse.
Beachy, 25, has posted a superb 2.00 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 68/29 K/BB ratio in 81 innings (13 starts) this season. Losing him for a significant period of time would obviously be a tough blow for second-place Atlanta.
Jair Jurrjens will return from Triple-A?Gwinnett?and start in Beachy?s place on Friday against the Red Sox.
