ATLANTA -- The Philadelphia Phillies plan to get an extended look at outfielder Aaron Altherr, starting with this weekend series against the Atlanta Braves. Fernando Valenzuela Dodgers Jersey .Altherr returned to the club on Thursday, made his first start since sustaining a wrist injury in spring training that required surgery and went 3-for-4 with a homer. It appears Altherr is ready to pick up where he left off at the end of last season.Im anxious to see him play, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. Its much better to get a two-month look at him than just a September call-up.The Phillies and Braves play the second game of their four-game series at Turner Field on Friday. Philadelphia sends rookie right-hander Vince Velasquez (8-2, 3.34) against Atlanta rookie Tyrell Jenkins (0-2, 6.17).Altherr was recalled last August and batted .241 with five homers and 22 RBI. After he was recalled, Altherr led the team in runs, triples, extra-base hits, total bases and walks.We want to see him play as much as possible, Mackanin said. If he stays healthy, Ill keep running him out there. Hes an important part of what we want to do.Altherr played in 13 minor league games with four different teams during his rehab assignment. He hit .341 with one homer and six RBI in 41 at-bats.Im definitely excited to get going and get in some situations that I can help the team win, Altherr said.Atlanta, which had only 23 players on its roster Wednesday night, recalled two relievers from Triple-A Gwinnett and went with a nine-man bullpen. Right-hander Jose Ramirez and lefty Matt Marksberry were recalled after the Braves traded starter Lucas Harrell and reliever Dario Alvarez to Texas the previous day.Ramirez made two appearances and pitched two innings in early April and allowed six runs. Ramirez was 3-2 with a 2.18 ERA in 36 appearances with the G-Braves, striking out 45 in 41 1/3 innings.It was the third time Marksberry has played for Atlanta this year, where hes pitched in two games and compiled a 10.80 ERA. He was 0-3 with a 5.01 ERA in 31 relief appearances in 2015, when he made the jump from the Class A level. Marksberry was 4-2 with a 2.32 ERA in 34 combined minor league appearances in 2016.Ramirez has been pitching well, Snitker said. Hes got a great arm. Its just been about trying to get him more consistent. Matt has been here before and hes been pitching well.The Braves will make another pitching move on Friday after optioning starter Matt Wisler to Triple-A following his loss on Thursday. Atlanta must now replace two starters in the rotation, with the most likely candidates being right-handers Casey Kelly and Aaron Blair, who have pitched in the majors this year.Outside consideration may be given to rookie Rob Whalen. The right-hander, who was acquired along with John Gant from the Mets last season, has a 1.93 ERA in three starts for Gwinnett with 18 strikeouts in 18 2/3 innings. Enrique Hernandez Jersey . Sgt. Eric ONeal says most of the arrests at Monday nights game were for public drunkenness, though one person was taken into custody on suspicion of trying to steal a seat from the stadium.

ATLANTA -- Beating state rival Georgia Southern wont make Georgia Techs season.Even so, it provided much-needed relief.Justin Thomas was the difference in the matchup of spread-option offenses, running for two touchdowns and passing for another, and Georgia Tech beat Georgia Southern 35-24 on Saturday to end a three-game losing streak.Its definitely better than being on the other side, said Yellow Jackets senior center Freddie Burden.Georgia Tech (4-3) enjoyed a dominant opening quarter and put the game away with two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Dedrick Mills had a 20-yard scoring run, his second of the game, with less than four minutes remaining.Thomas had a season-high 172 yards passing and 78 rushing. Georgia Tech gained 437 yards with three plays of at least 50 yards.Georgia Southern coach Tyson Summers said this week he thought his defenses familiarity with the option attack would help when preparing for Georgia Tech. But the super-quick Thomas adds a different edge to the Yellow Jackets version of the spread option.Its the speed and the cutting, Summers said. Those are the two things that you cannot simulate.Burden said Thomas is just amazing, he is just one of a kind.Georgia Southern (3-3) has lost three straight -- all on the road. The Eagles rank sixth in the nation in rushing but managed only 167 yards -- more than 100 below their average -- on 50 carries.It was a confidence-building win as the Yellow Jackets look to end a 2-10 two-year skid in Atlantic Coast Conference games, including a 1/3 ACC start this season.A 58-yard scoring run by Thomas and a 65-yard scoring pass from Thomas to Clinton Lynch gave the Yellow Jackets a 14-0 lead. A 50-yard run by Marcus Marshall set up Mills 6-yard touchdown run for a 21-7 lead late in the first quarter.We came out fast like we needed to, to put pressure on them, Thomas said.MEGA BOWFormer Georgia Tech standout receiver Calvin Megatron Johnson was recognized at halftime for his induction into the schools sports hall of fame on Friday night. The six-time Pro Bowwl player with the Detroit Lions retired after last season. Corey Seager Jersey. He played at Georgia Tech from 2004-06 as the schools all-time leader with 2,927 yards receiving and 28 touchdown receptions.Among seven other inductees was former basketball star Jarrett Jack, now with the Atlanta Hawks.UPSHAW UPDATEFavian Upshaw drew the start in Georgia Southerns two-quarterback system. Upshaw completed 8 of 16 passes for 66 yards and had 10 carries for 41 yards. Kevin Ellison took over at quarterback when Upshaw had to leave the game for the second time with an undisclosed injury.Summers did not have an immediate update on Upshaw. Itll be easier for us to kind of tell tomorrow, he said.Ellison completed 10 of 17 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown.THE TAKEAWAYGEORGIA SOUTHERN: The Eagles strengths didnt match up well against Georgia Tech. Georgia Southern leads the Sun Belt in total defense but couldnt stop Georgia Tech. L.A.

Younghoe Koo kicked a 44-yard field goal in the second quarter.GEORGIA TECH: The Yellow Jackets had the strong showing on both sides of the ball they needed to regain momentum after last weeks last-second loss at Pittsburgh.
