According to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, the Braves will explore trades for Dan Uggla this offseason. Frisaro opines that a return to the Marlins could be one potential destination for the embattled slugger, who is coming off an extremely disappointing season in which he hit .179/.309/.362 with 22 homers, 55 RBI and 171 strikeouts in 136 games. Uggla is the Marlins all-time leader in home runs, and with a gaping hole at second base a reunion could make sense for both parties, provided the Braves are willing to eat a portion of the $26 million remaining on his contract the next two seasons.

Dan Uggla is not on the Braves' roster for the NLDS against the Dodgers. This confirms a report by MLB.com's Mark Bowman. The Braves will move forward with Elliot Johnson as their starting second baseman. While Uggla will be left off the roster for the NLDS, the Braves intend to include B.J. Upton.

MLB.com's Mark Bowman was told by a source that Dan Uggla will be left off the Braves' NLDS roster. Uggla batted just .103/.290/.134 with one homer, four RBI and 39 strikeouts over his final 124 regular-season plate appearances this season. He's owed $26 million over the next two years. Elliot Johnson will serve as Atlanta's starting second baseman in October.

Dan Uggla is getting the night off on Monday. Paul Janish will start at second base for the Braves, who clinched the National League East crown on Sunday. Uggla is batting .105/.291/.140 in 31 games since August 1.

Dan Uggla is not in the lineup for the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Nationals. The struggling Uggla hasn't played since last Thursday and he's sitting in favor of Elliot Johnson once again. The 33-year-old is hitting just .114 (4-for-35) with 12 strikeouts since returning from LASIK surgery.

Dan Uggla is batting just .133 (4-for-30) since returning from the disabled list. Uggla was hoping that undergoing LASIK surgery would help him out at the plate, but so far that hasn't been the case. He's been benched in favor of Elliot Johnson for three straight nights and his batting line for the season is down to an ugly .182/.311/.371. The second baseman isn't pleased with the benching. "We've got a 12-game lead," Uggla said. "I would have loved to use this time to try to get locked in for the playoffs and keep going in the direction I felt I was going. Obviously, (manager Fredi Gonzalez) felt different."

Dan Uggla is not in the Braves' lineup on Monday. It's just a routine day of maintenance. Elliot Johnson will start at second base against the Marlins.

Braves activated 2B Dan Uggla from the 15-day disabled list. Uggla underwent LASIK surgery earlier this month, but he managed to make it back as soon as he was eligible. The Braves are hoping the procedure will result in increased production down the stretch and during the postseason.

Dan Uggla (LASIK surgery) went 2-for-4 with a home run in his second rehab game with Triple-A Gwinnett Tuesday. Uggla is on track to be activated from the disabled list on Wednesday, the first day he's eligible. The second baseman took a couple weeks off after undergoing LASIK surgery in order to hopefully fix his year-long vision issues.

Dan Uggla (LASIK surgery) will begin a rehab assignment Monday with Triple-A Gwinnett. Uggla is expected to play in two rehab games before he's activated from the disabled list. He remains on track to rejoin the Braves' lineup Wednesday when first eligible.
