DENVER – Julio Teheran felt good during his light-throwing session Sunday and said he hopes to start in his next scheduled turn Thursday, though the Braves will wait to see how he feels throwing off a mound Tuesday as part of his usual between-starts routine.
Teheran left Friday’s game with back tightness in the latissimus dorsi muscle area behind and beneath his pitching shoulder, and the Braves wanted to see how the All-Star felt after two or three days before determining whether to place him on the 15-day disabled list or push back his next scheduled start a day or two.
