Alex Wood News: The Braves will skip Wood's scheduled start Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

The Braves will skip Wood's scheduled start Thursday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

There's no injury in play here, but the Braves will give Wood some extra rest, just as they did with their other young starter, Julio Teheran. Paul Maholm just came down with some elbow soreness, and the team really can't afford to lose another starter at this point. Freddy Garcia is now scheduled to oppose right-hander Nathan Eovaldi on Thursday.
