Braves activate Smoltz from DL, to resume closer's role
Baseball Betting Lines
06/02/2008 -
Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves activated pitcher
John Smoltz from the 15-day disabled list prior to Monday's contest with the
Florida Marlins.
Smoltz had been on the DL since April 28 with a severely inflamed biceps
tendon and an inflamed rotator cuff.
Smoltz, who turned 41 on May 15, previously reported being in a lot of pain,
after continually struggling in the later innings of his starts. The team then
made the decision to move the veteran back into the closer's role upon his
return.
After missing the entire 2000 season, the Braves moved Smoltz into a closing
role in 2001, where the right-hander racked up 154 saves from 2001-2004,
breaking the National League record for saves in a season with 55 in 2002.
Smoltz moved back to the rotation in 2005 and compiled a 47-26 record,
including three consecutive years with at least 14 wins from 2005-2007.
Smoltz is 3-2 this season with a 2.00 earned-run average, 36 strikeouts and
eight walks in 27 innings.
In a corresponding move, the team optioned reliever Phil Stockman to Triple-A
Richmond.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
