AP: Glavine goes on DL for first time in 22-year career

Braves pitcher Tom Glavine went on the disabled list for the first time in his 22-year career Friday night, forced out by a strained right hamstring that needs more time to heal.

The 42-year-old left-hander had hoped to start Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, six days after leaving a start at Washington in the first inning.
...
“I never envisioned a hamstring problem, especially as flexible as I am and as loose as I was before the game,” Glavine said. “Hopefully it was just one of those freak things.”

The lefty threw a normal bullpen session on Thursday without any problems, but noted that he never throws at full speed on an off day.

“If I had ever thought I was going to miss a start or be on the DL, it certainly wasn’t going to be leg related,” Glavine said. “You never know.”
