Braves pitcher Jair Jurrjens will make his return from the disabled list Wednesday. Two Giants were just placed there, with possibly more on the way.

Jurrjens, who will make his first start since being shelved with a knee injury, opposes a thin Giants lineup that already was struggling to produce.

On Tuesday, right-hander Sergio Romo (right elbow inflammation) and outfielder Carlos Beltran (strained right hand) were placed on the 15-day disabled list. Plus, Jeff Keppinger (right wrist), Nate Schierholtz (right foot) and Aaron Rowand (rib cage) were nicked up, while Pablo Sandoval (foot) started at first base instead of third.

Oh, and starter Jonathan Sanchez left Tuesday's game after spraining his left ankle in the third inning.

Despite those injuries, the Giants aren't conceding anything. Sandoval came in Tuesday and more or less told skipper Bruce Bochy he was going to play, while Miguel Tejada is fresh after spending time on the DL with a lower abdominal strain and said he's ready to contribute.

"I'm prepared to be one of the bigger guys on this team," Tejada said.

Meanwhile, the Braves are happy to get back Jurrjens, one of the game's best pitchers in the first half. Before the All-Star break, the right-hander was 12-3 with a 1.87 ERA. In four second-half starts, however, Jurrjens struggled, going 0-1 with a 6.26 ERA and was placed on the DL with a right knee strain.

The rest, Jurrjens said, has proven to be beneficial as the right-hander said earlier this week he feels the best he has all season.

The Braves get one of their best pitchers back as the injuries just seem to mount up for the Giants. The result will be another Braves win.
