ATLANTA -- Kris Medlen and Brandon Beachy are becoming free agents following decisions by the Braves not to offer 2015 contracts to the right-handers, both recovering from their second Tommy John surgeries.
The Braves failed to offer a contract to right-hander Gus Schlosser.
Medlen and Beachy, once considered rising stars in the rotation, did not pitch in 2014 after they had ligament-replacement surgeries during spring training.
Medlen won a combined 25 games in 2012 and 2013. He excelled as a reliever and starter in 2012, when he was 10-1 with a 1.56 ERA.
Beachy had his first surgery early in the 2012 season and struggled in 2013, when he was 2-1 with a 4.50 ERA.
Schlosser had a 7.14 ERA in 15 games last season.
