Atlanta Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens may be on the disabled list a little longer than originally expected after leaving his most recent rehab start with dizziness.
The Braves may not need Jurrjens, anyway, as long as Ben Sheets bounces back and Kris Medlen holds up in the rotation.
The addition of Paul Maholm has added necessary veteran depth for the Braves, whose top prospect, right-hander Julio Teheran, does not appear ready to contribute as a starter in the big leagues.
Wednesday was Jurrjens' second rehab start and he'll be reevaluated before he gets back on the mound. If and when he's cleared, he'll likely rejoin the big club after a few more starts for Triple-A Gwinnett, at which time Medlen likely will head back to the bullpen. The Braves could go to six starters for a little while, but if you have any Braves starters on your fantasy squad, keep an eye on this as such a move could greatly impact each arms' value.
