Kristopher Allen Medlen (born October 7, 1985 in Artesia, California) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Atlanta Braves.
Medlen was drafted by the Braves in the 10th round of the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft.
Medlen made his major league debut on May 21, 2009 pitching just three innings, giving up five earned runs on three hits against the Colorado Rockies.[1]
Medlen earned his first win on May 31, 2009 against the Arizona Diamondbacks pitching six innings and giving up only one earned run.[2]
On August 5, 2010, Medlen was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament tear in his right elbow. It was announced by the Atlanta Braves that he would require Tommy John Surgery to repair the damage, ending his season.
Medlen spent much of the 2011 season rehabbing following the surgery. He was activated from the 60-day disabled list on September 24, 2011.[3]
