Colon gets nod for Saturday's Grapefruit League opener

As he preps for the likelihood of making his fourth consecutive Opening Day start for Atlanta, Teheran will begin his exhibition season at 1:05 p.m. ET on Sunday when the Braves host the Astros.

Dickey will start Monday's game against the Tigers in Lakeland, followed by Foltynewicz when the Cardinals visit on Tuesday afternoon. Garcia will complete the rotation's first turn when he starts on Wednesday night against the Yankees in Tampa.

While Atlanta's projected rotation consists of Teheran, Colon, Garcia, Dickey and Foltynewicz, the Braves have chosen to say Aaron Blair, Matt Wisler and John Danks will battle Foltynewicz for the fifth spot.
