Mike Minor (shoulder) won't be activated from the disabled list until the the second half of April. Minor is hoping to be ready by the end of the second week of April, but recent injuries to Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy have caused the Braves to exercise caution with their left-hander. The good news is that Minor has gone almost a month without any discomfort in his shoulder. Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Minor could make his first start in a minor league game at the end of March while starting the season on the disabled list.
