Beachy tossed 20 fastballs at about 70-75 percent effort. "Felt good," he said after the workout. "It loosened up.

He's at least two weeks away from returning to the Braves' rotation.

"I wish I would have woke up this morning and it was better, but unfortunately it's not," Beachy said Saturday. "However long this keeps me out - I have no idea, hopefully not long - it's going to be a mental battle as much as it is physical, to get myself ready to go again."

Julio Teheran, Mike Minor or Rodrigo Lopez will replace him in the starting rotation.

He walked away with a no-decision after exiting with the game tied, but it doesn't lessen what was another superb performance from Beachy.

Despite boasting just one win, he now holds a 2.98 ERA and 0.97 WHIP. Beachy's next start will come against the Nats.

Beachy limited the Cardinals to only three hits while fanning five and walking one. He was pulled for Jonny Venters after allowing the first two hitters to reach in the top of the eighth inning, which led to a game-tying double by David Freese. Still, it was a solid outing for the young right-hander. He now has a 3.47 ERA and 36/10 K/BB ratio over his first six starts and is well worth using in mixed leagues at the moment.

Beachy was on, striking out seven while walking none. It's his second straight impressive outing and it's obvious he's holding off Mike Minor with ease for now. Beachy's 31 strikeouts in 29 1/3 innings this season have him on the radar in deep leagues.

Beachy did strike out eight, so the outing wasn't a total loss. But, that's two straight less than stellar showings following a nice season debut. His leash isn't that long with Mike Minor waiting at Triple-A. Beachy will face the Dodgers the next time he toes the rubber.

Brandon Beachy gave up four runs over six-plus innings in a loss to the Phillies on Saturday afternoon.

He wasn't nearly as impressive as he was against the Brewers earlier this week. Beachy allowed seven hits -- including a two-run homer to Brian Schneider -- while walking two and striking out two.

Beachy was left with a no decision because the Atlanta offense didn't show up until the eighth inning, but it was an otherwise great day for the promising youngster.
