The Braves, as expected, announced Tuesday that prized prospect Julio Teheran will make a spot start Wednesday night in Arizona in place of the injured Brandon Beachy, who is on the disabled list with a strained oblique.

Teheran will make his second major league start, and first since he made his debut in Philadelphia on May 7. He allowed three earned runs in 4 2/3 innings in that game, a 3-0 loss, but the Braves liked the way he handled himself and figure he can do more of the same with another spot start.

The Braves’ fifth starter spot won’t come up again until May 31 because of off days, so the team felt comfortable using Teheran for another spot start. He was scheduled to pitch Tuesday, which put him more on schedule with the Braves’ needs than Mike Minor, who pitched on Sunday for Triple-A Gwinnett.
