Top pitching prospect Jose Capellan is expected to make his MLB debut against the Expos this weekend. His stats at Myrtle Beach (High A), Greenville (AA), and Richmond (AAA) are below:

	G	IP	H	BB	K	HR	R	ER	ERA
A	8	46.3	27	11	62	0	11	10	1.94
AA	9	50.3	53	19	53	1	15	14	2.50
AAA	7	43	33	15	37	0	13	12	2.51
Total	24	139.7	113	45	152	1	39	36	2.32

Meanwhile, shortstop Rafael Furcal was arrested for speeding and DUI for driving 88 MPH in a 55 MPH zone with a B.A.C. of .127, more than 50% higher than Georgia's legal limit of .08. The DUI violated Furcal's probation from a previous DUI that was set to end October 29. Not in the Braves' lineup Friday night, it is unclear how Furcal's infraction will affect the team.
