PHILADELPHIA – Julio Teheran has been scratched from his Wednesday start due to an infection in his right thigh, but the Braves hope to have him back for a start this weekend against the White Sox in Chicago.
Tyrell Jenkins will move from the bullpen to start Wednesday’s series finale against the Phillies, the first start for the rookie right-hander after four relief appearances.
Teheran, an All-Star candidate who ranks among major league leaders in several categories in including opponents’ average (1.98) and ERA (2.72), has an infection in his thigh just above the knee, which Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said resulted from an ingrown hair.
