Jason Heyward placed on the 15 day DL, Paul Maholm to take his spot.
Phil Gosselin sent to Gwinnett to make room for Elliot Johnson.
So they will play with a short bench at least for the time being.

Honestly, I've got a weird feeling that Minor might be DLed soon.
Might be the best thing for him and Teheran. Give them rest and make sure they are not burnt out for the postseason.
I'm saying does he really need to be pushed all the way back to Tuesday? I don't mind him staying fresh, but the timing and where he was moved seemed odd. We'll see how good he is Tuesday. I wonder if we'll go with the short bench until Uggla gets back, which I would think would be some time next week.

Hate to say it, but Minor and/or Teheran are just about due for TJ surgery. Wouldn't shock me in the least.
Elliot Johnson better be another Andrelton at 2nd because he can't hit his way out of a wet paper bag. He is awful. Why in the world we are letting La Stella, who is an excellent hitter, rot in AA and claim someone like Johnson is beyond me.
