Tommy Hanson to make rehab start Sunday at Triple-A, will rejoin the Braves afterward

Getty Images Braves righty Tommy Hanson is just about ready.
According to David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the 25-year-old is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start on Sunday at Triple-A Gwinnett and will be activated from the disabled list five days later if all goes according to plan.
Hanson, who has been on the shelf since July 31 with a lower back strain, uttered an obscenity at Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez when the topic of a minor league start was broached. But the Bravos have a solid five-man rotation mix at the moment and want to play it safe with their injury-prone youngster.
“I’m not in a good mood,” Hanson told reporters Saturday.
He has a 4.29 ERA and a 114/54 K/BB ratio in 126 innings this season.

“Tommy Hanson to make rehab start Sunday at Triple-A, will rejoin Indians after”
Thought he played for the Braves…remember Cleveland is the Native-American-named team with the more offensive mascot.

And you fixed the headline even before my comment posted, making my lame joke all the lamer.

Unless you are like me and get every HBT headline and synopsis sent to your email . . . then that headline is preserved in perpetuity.
My head was spinning when I read it. Thought there was some whacked out waiver deal I missed in the two hours I was away from my computer.

Sorry Hanson, maybe if you weren’t walking 7 batters a game and letting everyone and their grandmother steal off you then you’d be put back in the rotation quicker. Fredi better not put Meds back in the pen.

I have a strong feeling that is who will be booted once Tommy is back.

Put his butt in the pen! He’s not starter material right now. Cursing the manager is just a sign of ego and immaturity. I’d like to see him traded after the season.
