The Braves will use a six-man rotation over the next two weeks. Fredi Gonzalez said he'll pick the best five starters at the end of August. Atlanta is in a stretch of playing 20 consecutive days before a day off on Aug. 30. "After that, we're going with five," Gonzalez said. "Somebody is going to have to go to the bullpen and that's just the way it is." The Braves created a surplus in their rotation last month by trading for Paul Maholm, signing Ben Sheets and moving Kris Medlen from the bullpen.
