Jordan Walden (hamstring) isn't expected to be activated from the disabled list until mid-June. Walden has felt good while long-tossing, but the Braves want to be extra careful given how much stress his delivery puts on his left leg. He won't throw off a mound for another couple weeks. "Especially with his delivery, that left leg is very important because it's the one he lands on," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "So, we've got to make sure that's right because if it's not, that's what could lead to something else."

Jordan Walden (hamstring) could throw a bullpen session as soon as Tuesday. Walden has been playing catch from distances up to 120 feet and thinks he's ready to take the next step. He should be ready for activation not long after he's throwing from a mound again. "It's feeling a lot better just got to keep working on it, get some more strength in there, hopefully I'll be on the mound soon," Walden said.

Braves placed RHP Jordan Walden on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 5, with a strained left hamstring. Walden has been plagued by the injury since the beginning of spring training, and it's gotten to the point where the team feels it's best to let him rest and allow the hamstring to heal. Expect him to return to the bullpen at the end of the month.
