| |  | 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.''
| | 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.

*Braves-Padres Preview* =======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
Atlanta (58-51) at San Diego (48-60), 10:10 p.m. EDT
The Atlanta Braves have struggled to score and the bullpen hasn't been sharp during their current losing streak.
They made a move to improve both areas before the trade deadline.
After acquiring Emilio Bonifacio and James Russell, the Braves will try to avoid their fourth straight loss Friday night when they visit the San Diego Padres.
Atlanta (58-51) has totaled nine runs and hit .185 with runners in scoring position over its last four games, including three consecutive defeats to the Los Angeles Dodgers to open this eight-game trip.
Though their nine hits off Clayton Kershaw on Thursday were the most allowed this season by MLB's ERA leader, the Braves lost 2-1. Justin Upton had a ninth-inning RBI single and is hitting .362 in his last 16 contests.
The Braves stayed 1 1/2 games behind NL East-leading Washington and fell into a three-way tie for the second wild-card spot, but may have boosted their playoff hopes earlier in the day by obtaining Bonifacio and Russell from the Chicago Cubs for catching prospect Victor Caratini.
Bonifacio provides a switch-hitting option who can play several different positions. He's hitting .279 in 69 games and owns a .400 average in his last eight.
Atlanta relievers gave up six runs and 11 hits over four innings in Los Angeles, and the Braves sought to add a left-handed reliever Thursday. Russell fits that bill after going 0-2 with one save and a 3.51 ERA in 44 games for Chicago.
"These are two pieces that we really like," general manager Frank Wren said. "In Bonifacio, we got a really versatile bench player who can do a lot of things well. In Russell's case, it's another veteran bullpen arm."
Both players are expected to join the Braves when they try to beat San Diego's Eric Stults for the second time in two weeks.
Stults (3-13, 5.22 ERA), who leads the NL in losses, allowed six runs over six innings in Sunday's 8-3 loss at Atlanta. The left-hander had been 2-1 with a 1.93 ERA in his previous three starts against the Braves.
Mike Minor (4-6, 5.23) opposed Stults last week and beat the Padres (48-60), allowing three runs with six strikeouts over 6 2-3 innings. The left-hander had given up 12 runs and 21 hits in nine innings over his previous two starts.
Yangervis Solarte went 2 for 4 with a home run off Minor, and he's batting .324 with two homers and eight RBIs in nine games since joining San Diego in a trade from the New York Yankees.
The Padres rank last in the majors with a .220 average after finishing with three hits in Thursday's 6-2 home loss to St. Louis, missing a chance to sweep that three-game set.
Jedd Gyorko could be turning things around after homering for the second straight game. He's hitting .183 on the season but went 6 for 11 with six RBIs in the Cardinals series.
"My swings feel good," Gyorko said. "Everything feels right."
The Padres made a move toward the future Thursday by sending outfielder Chris Denorfia to Seattle for two minor leaguers.
Jason Heyward has been out during the Braves' three-game skid due to a sore back but could return during this three-game set.
San Diego has won four straight versus Atlanta at Petco Park.
