change in order?

Mike Minor may be looking over his shoulder. Or he should be. After another in a series of rough starts — six earned runs allowed in 4 2/3 innings against Miami tonight — the former Mississippi Braves left-hander has become an obvious weak link in the Atlanta rotation. He had an 11.81 ERA in his three starts prior to tonight’s. Meanwhile, Atlanta’s No. 1 prospect, former M-Brave Julio Teheran, is flourishing at Triple-A Gwinnett. Right-hander Teheran, with his upper 90s fastball, is 3-1 with a 2.48 ERA in seven starts. He held his own in a big league trial last season. He is ready for more, and his time may be coming very soon.
