New York Mets will visit the Atlanta Braves Watch FREE Live Streaming Online Major League Baseball from Turner Field at 7:10 PM ET

Atlanta (4-3) has lost Brandon Beachy, Kris Medlen, and Mike Minor to injury. That trio combined for 30 wins last year, with Medlen leading the way with 15 while his 3.11 ERA was the lowest for any regular member of the rotation.

In an effort to soften the blow of those absences, the Braves signed Ervin Santana to a one-year, $14.1 million contract and forfeited a first-round draft pick -- 26th overall -- as compensation.

The right-hander went 9-10 with a 3.24 ERA with Kansas City last year after spending eight with the .

He won his only meeting with the Mets on Aug. 4, yielding one run in six innings of a 6-2 road victory. The Braves would welcome a similar line to that after Santana surrendered six runs with four walks in 5 1/3 innings with Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Zack Wheeler is returning to Atlanta for the first time since striking out seven in six scoreless innings of a 6-1 victory in his major league debut on June 18. Wheeler also beat the Braves twice at home while posting a 4.26 ERA.

He's trying to become the first Met to win his first four starts versus Atlanta and the first to do it at all since Terry Leach against the Montreal Expos from Sept. 13, 1985-Oct. 11, 1987.

Matching that feat may require some improvement after Wheeler gave up three runs in six innings of an 8-2 loss to the Nationals in his season debut Thursday.

"It all starts with me though, giving up the three runs," Wheeler told the team's official website. "I should have done better."
