Brandon Beachy (elbow) will make his second rehab start with Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday. After throwing 29 pitches over two innings in his first start, Beachy will be limited to three innings or 45 pitches in his second outing. He's expected to make around five starts in the minors to regain his arm strength before rejoining the Braves' rotation in the middle of June. If you haven't already done so, now would be a terrific time to stash the young right-hander in most fantasy leagues.

Brandon Beachy (elbow) will make his first official minor league rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Gwinnett. Beachy was cleared after he threw 29 pitches over two innings Tuesday during a start in extended spring training. He's expected to make around five starts in the minors, which puts him on pace to join the Braves around the anniversary of his Tommy John surgery on June 21. He's well worth stashing in most fantasy leagues.
