Peter Moylan Delaying DL Activation, Hanley Ramirez Suffering Slump, Marlins Move Into First: Braves Cup Of Coffee

Recapping the events of April 26:

Braves reliever Peter Moylan will likely continue to sit on the DL after his 15 days are up this weekend (link). The Braves are keeping him on the DL to avoid a possible setback if he is rushed.

Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez is attempting to fix a hitch in his swing (link). Ramirez is hitting .194/.308/.254 with a .252 wOBA.

Mets catcher Ronny Paulino will be activated from the DL on Friday (link).
