Atlanta Braves SS Tyler Pastornicky (knee) will miss the rest of the year and will have surgery to fix a torn anterior cruciate ligament Monday, Aug. 19. Pastornicky tore the ligament in his knee after he crashed into OF Jason Heyward Wednesday, Aug. 14, attempting to catch a fly ball. INF Phil Gosselin is being called up from Triple-A Gwinnett. Gosselin hit .277 with two home runs and 11 RBIs in the minors.

Fantasy Tip: Pastornicky was filling in for Dan Uggla (Lasik eye surgery) at second base. Now, that task will fall to some combination of Paul Janish and Gosselin. Nothing really worth pursuing unless you're desperate for a middle infielder in NL-only leagues.

The Atlanta Braves placed 2B Dan Uggla (eye) on the 15-day disabled list due to eye surgery Tuesday, Aug. 13, and recalled SS Tyler Pastornicky from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move.

Fantasy Tip: Pastornicky and Paul Janish could split time at second base with Uggla sidelined, but they should only be considered in NL-only leagues for now. Uggla was hitting under .200, although he has 21 home runs.

The Atlanta Braves activated SS Paul Janish (side, shoulder) from the 15-day disabled list Friday, May 10, and optioned him to Triple-A Gwinnett.

Fantasy Tip: The only way Janish realistically will be called up and see frequent playing time in Atlanta is if Andrelton Simmons is injured and goes on the disabled list.

Atlanta Braves C Brian McCann (shoulder) and SS Paul Janish (shoulder) will continue playing in extended spring training Thursday, April 4, and both players are only permitted to hit in games. McCann will hit and catch bullpens while he increases his throwing program, but he won't be cleared for full action until April 16. There is no timetable for his return from the disabled list. Janish will be cleared to play sooner than McCann, and Janish will play shortstop for Triple-A Gwinnett when he returns from the DL.

Fantasy Tip: McCann probably won't be back playing for the Braves until next month if he won't even be cleared to play in full minor league games until halfway through this month. Still, he wasn't a bad gamble as a second catcher in two-catcher leagues. If he's fully healthy, he provides fantasy owners with power that not many other catchers can match.

The Atlanta Braves placed SS Paul Janish (shoulder) on the 15-day disabled list to start the regular season. He is still recovering from left shoulder surgery.

Fantasy Tip: When healthy, Janish is only worth a look in the deepest of NL-only leagues. He is expected to miss the first couple of weeks of the season.

Atlanta Braves INF Ramiro Pena is penciled in as the team's primary middle infield backup with SS Paul Janish (shoulder) not expected to be cleared to play until late March or early April. Pena has experience at shortstop, third base and second base and has also played two games in right field and seven games in center field in the minors.
