The Atlanta Braves placed Julio Teheran on the 10-day disabled list Monday due to a right thumb contusion. Teheran lasted just four innings in Monday’s start and exited after jamming his thumb during a swing. The Braves have selected the contract of RHP Luke Jackson to take Teheran’s place on the active roster.
