A 2011 first-round pick, Gilmartin has struggled this season with a 5.83 ERA and 47/30 K/BB ratio over 71 innings with Gwinnett. It's not clear how long he'll be sidelined.

He got a $1.7 million signing bonus. Hursh was selected with the compensation pick that the Braves received for losing Michael Bourn to free agency. The 21-year-old sinkerballer posted a 2.79 ERA and 86/28 K/BB ratio in 106 1/3 innings this season for Oklahoma State.

Heyward played both games in Tuesday's doubleheader, so he'll get a breather. Jordan Schafer is making the start in right field Wednesday.

Maholm was simply out-dueled by Mets right-hander Zack Wheeler, who was making his major league debut. The veteran lefty struck out seven New York batters and did not issue a walk, but he fell to 7-6. Maholm will get the Brewers in Milwaukee next time out.

Wood allowed one earned run in three innings before exiting. It was only a spot start, and the young southpaw will likely be sent back to the Double-A level soon.

The Braves never gave any official word, but it appeared that Wood was suffering from a finger blister. He impressed before departing, striking out five. The one run he allowed came on a misplay from third baseman Chris Johnson.

He'll serve as the 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader with the Mets. Rasmus has allowed five runs on five hits and three walks over 3 2/3 innings with the Braves this season.
