Braves general manager Frank Wren said he is hoping Mike Minor (shoulder) will return "near the end of the regular season's second week." This hasn't changed from Wren's previous quotes. Minor felt some soreness in his shoulder at the start of camp, a byproduct of inactivity following a urinary tract procedure in December. With Atlanta's rotation taking a hit in lieu of news that Kris Medlen is heading for a consultation with Dr. James Andrews, Atlanta fans are hoping for an expeditious Minor recovery.
