Beachy (elbow) will throw to hitters this weekend for the first time since he had Tommy John surgery, Bill Plunkett of the Orange County Register reports. Beachy continues to work his way back from his second Tommy John surgery, and will take another step this weekend. He still has a ways to go, but if he can avoid setbacks, a return at some point in June seems likely.

Beachy's (elbow) bullpen session Tuesday did not go well according to the pitcher, the LA Daily News reports. Beachy is attempting to change his mechanics in order to lessen the stress he puts on his elbow. He hasn't reported feeling any pain, but it's a slow process. Mid-June is probably a reasonable estimate as to his availability.

Beachy (elbow) has progressed to bullpen sessions in his recovery from Tommy John surgery, the LA Times reports. He's had no setbacks and the hope is that Beachy will be ready in June.

Beachy (elbow) threw off a mound Tuesday and worked on his mechanics during a lengthy session, MLB.com's Ken Gurnick reports. Beachy, who is returning from the second Tommy John surgery of his career, is targeting a return around the All-Star break. He appears to be progressing as expected thus far, and if healthy by midseason, will represent an excellent fallback option if the historically fragile Brandon McCarthy and Brandon McCarthy fail to hold up at the back end of the rotation.

Beachy agreed to a one-year contract with the Dodgers on Saturday that includes an option for 2016, Mark Saxon of ESPNLosAngeles.com reports.The Braves declined to tender Beachy a contract in December, making him a free agent, after the right-hander missed the entire 2014 season following Tommy John surgery. It was his second reconstructive elbow surgery in two years, and the Dodgers will be conservative in bringing him through his rehabilitation with an eye toward activation around the All-Star break. Beachy could be an option to start once healthy, but if the rotation remains intact, he could be ticketed for the bullpen.

Beachy (elbow) has signed a one year, major league contract with the Dodgers, Fox's Ken Rosenthal reports.Beachy is recovering from his second Tommy John surgery in two years and likely won't be up in the majors until late in the season. He missed all of 2014 after undergoing the procedure in March.

The Braves declined to tender Beachy (elbow) a contract, David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Beachy would have been in line for only a very slight increase in salary (from 1.45 million) via arbitration after missing all of 2014 following Tommy John surgery, but the Braves ultimately decided those funds would be better allocated elsewhere. The right-hander's reconstructive elbow surgery was his second such procedure in less than two years, but the Braves do reportedly have some interest in bringing Beachy back at a reduced cost.

Beachy (elbow) has been activated from the 60-day DL. Little has been reported in terms of Beachy's progress from Tommy John surgery in recent months, but considering it was his second such procedure in less than two years, it seems likely the Braves will be especially cautious in bringing through the rehabilitation process. Thus, the team figures to turn elsewhere to begin 2015, and the uncertainty regarding Beachy's return will make him tough to value come draft day.

Braves transferred RHP Brandon Beachy from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Beachy underwent Tommy John surgery last month. The Braves will hope to get him back early on next season.

Brandon Beachy is scheduled to undergo Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery Friday in Los Angeles. Beachy, like teammate Kris Medlen, will miss the entire 2014 season and possibly part of 2015. It's the second Tommy John elbow procedure for both Braves pitchers. Beachy, 27, owns a fantastic 3.23 ERA and 1.13 WHIP in 267 2/3 career major league innings. He will be missed.
