Description: One start after throwing his first career complete game shutout, Braves starter Kris Medlen dazzled again Wednesday against Washington.

Description: Braves starter Kris Medlen twirled his first career complete game in a 6-0 victory over San Diego Thursday. Medlen held the Padres to five hits, struck out six and didn't walk a batter. | Insight: Medlen is making Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez' decision awfully difficult. The team will switch back to a five-man rotation once September starts, and Medlen figured to be the odd man out until his last four starts (3-0, 1.05 ERA). Medlen should be added in deeper leagues, as he'll make another 2-3 starts this month. | | |

Description: Righthander Kris Medlen will take Jair Jurrjens' spot in the Atlanta starting rotation. | Insight: Medlen has been sensational as a reliever for the Braves this season (1-1, 2.48 ERA in 38 appearances). He'll make his first start of the season Tuesday night against Miami. | | |

Description: The Braves optioned right-hander Kris Medlen to Triple-A Gwinnett, where he'll stretch his arm out before joining Atlanta's starting rotation. | Insight: Medlen will get an immediate fantasy value boost by moving from middle relief to the rotation. The RHP will likely make 2-3 starts in Triple-A before getting a call back to the big leagues. The 26-year-old Medlen has made 18 starts in his career, going 6-2 with a 4.31 ERA and 81 strikeouts in 102 1/3 innings. He's worth a grab in NL-only and deeper mixed leagues. Mike Minor and Randall Delgado owners need to be on notice that each pitcher is in jeopardy of losing his spot in the rotation to Medlen. | | |
