| |  | SAN DIEGO: SAN DIEGO (AP) - It's almost as if last season didn't end for the San Diego Padres.
The Padres go into 2014 trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers and with one of their starting pitchers already having arm trouble.
There had been a general air of optimism surrounding the Padres, who are coming off seasons of 91, 86 and 86 losses. Their rotation has been bolstered, as well as their player payroll.
Then came word late in spring training that newcomer Josh Johnson, penciled in as the No. 3 starter, is expected to be out four to five weeks after straining his right forearm.
That still leaves a projected rotation of Andrew Cashner, Tyson Ross, Ian Kennedy and Eric Stults, with a number of pitchers to choose from to replace Johnson.
''I think we have the talent on the mound, through our 12 guys that are going to make our team, to pitch well,'' manager Bud Black said. ''There's a health component here like all teams. We've got keep our best players on the field.''
The Padres signed Johnson to an $8 million, one-year contact less than two months after he had bone spurs removed from his pitching elbow. He was 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA in 16 appearances last season with Toronto.
When Johnson returns, the Padres hope he and Ian Kennedy can return to their old form.
Kennedy was acquired from division rival Arizona at the trading deadline. He went 4-2 with a 4.24 ERA with San Diego after going 3-8 with a 5.23 ERA in 21 starts with the Diamondbacks. Johnson was an All-Star with the Marlins in 2009 and 2010, and led the NL with a 2.30 ERA in 2010.
The Padres will be tested right away. They open at home Sunday night against the defending NL West champion Dodgers and their $225 million payroll, led by ace Clayton Kershaw, himself a $215 million man. The Dodgers already sit atop the division after sweeping the Diamondbacks in a two-game series in Sydney.
| | ATLANTA: ATLANTA (AP) - For the Atlanta Braves, spring training turned into a matter of survival.
No wonder they're so eager to get the season going.
The defending NL East champions lost a big chunk of their starting rotation down in Florida: projected opening day starter Kris Medlen and fellow right-hander Brandon Beachy both underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time and are out for the season. Another starter, Mike Minor, will also begin the year on the disabled list as he recovers from a sore shoulder.
But the Braves are nothing if not resourceful. They quickly signed Ervin Santana to a $14.1 million, one-year contract and have every intention of getting back to the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years.
''We still have a great team,'' closer Craig Kimbrel said. ''It's tough losing two top pitchers. But getting Santana was really big. I want to be closing out division titles and championships and World Series. I think we've still got the group to do it.''
The Braves will have a different look behind the plate after longtime catcher Brian McCann signed with the New York Yankees. But another title in a lackluster division is certainly a possibility, especially if second baseman Dan Uggla and center fielder B.J. Upton bounce back from dismal seasons in which both hit under .200. They showed signs of turning things around in spring training.
''Time will tell,'' general manager Frank Wren said, ''but we really like what we've seen so far.''

*Padres-Braves Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
San Diego (46-56) at Atlanta (55-48), 5:05 p.m. EDT
Atlanta's slumbering offense woke up to get the Braves back in the win column, and it may have happened just in time considering Mike Minor's recent struggles.
The left-hander seeks his first home victory in over two months Sunday night when the Braves look to notch back-to-back wins in a four-game set against the San Diego Padres.
Atlanta (56-48) hit .196 during a 1-4 stretch to fall 2 1/2 games behind NL East-leading Washington before Freddie Freeman and Tommy La Stella led an 11-hit attack with three apiece in Saturday's 5-3 win.
Chris Johnson also drove in a pair of runs to help the Braves move within 1 1/2 of the Nationals, who lost at Cincinnati.
"We've got to keep going," Johnson told MLB's official website. "We're still behind."
Atlanta may need a similar showing with Minor on the hill if it wants to even its record on an 11-game homestand that concludes Monday.
Minor (3-6, 5.32 ERA) has allowed 12 runs and 21 hits in nine-plus innings over his last two starts and is 0-3 with a 5.96 ERA in five home outings since his last win at Turner Field on May 19.
Minor, who went 13-9 with a 3.21 ERA in 2013, is coming off his shortest start of the season after giving up six runs and 10 hits in only three-plus innings of a 6-5 home loss to Miami on Tuesday.
"I'm a little concerned because we've see him so much better than that," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We'll keep working. We'll keep trying to figure it out because he's a big piece of our rotation right now."
Minor has surrendered three runs over six innings while dropping each of his two career home starts against the Padres (46-57), though he hasn't faced them since 2012.
Outfielder Chris Denorfia is 4 for 6 with two doubles and a triple versus Minor, while first baseman Yonder Alonso is 2 for 3 with an RBI. Alonso went 1 for 4 Saturday in his first action since June 17 because of right wrist tendinitis.
Seth Smith had his third three-hit effort in five games, leaving him 11 for 17 over that span.
Although they're batting a MLB-worst .218 - the lowest at this point in a season since the 1968 New York Yankees - the Padres have hit .303 with 29 runs over their last four games and will try to provide Eric Stults (3-12, 5.00) with some rare run support.
The left-hander, who leads the majors in losses, hasn't pitched poorly with a 3.07 ERA over his last five starts, but he's been given a total of 15 runs while going 1-9 with a 4.98 ERA over his last 12.
"I've been in this game long enough to know you're going to hit stretches where you're not going to pitch well," he said. "You don't dwell on the bad ones. You move forward."
Stults is a baseball-worst 0-8 with a 5.43 ERA in 11 road outings, though he is 1-0 with a 1.93 mark over three career starts versus Atlanta. He opposed Minor in his only start at Turner Field, allowing one run over 7 2-3 innings in a 4-1 win Aug. 13, 2012.
Justin Upton is 3 for 9 with a home run and four RBIs and Jason Heyward has gone 2 for 7 with a homer against Stults, though Freeman is just 1 for 7 in the matchup.
Freeman will look to stay hot after going 5 for 9 to start this series. The All-Star first baseman is 13 for 23 in his last six games versus San Diego.
