MLB: Smoltz lands on disabled list

Veteran right-hander John Smoltz was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday because of biceps tendinitis.

Smoltz visited Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., on Tuesday. The noted surgeon found that Smoltz has a severely inflamed biceps tendon and an inflamed rotator cuff.

The Braves hope that a few weeks of rest will bring Smoltz relief in his shoulder.

Smoltz has been bothered by tightness between his neck and shoulder for more than a month and experienced more discomfort while pitching four innings against the Mets on Sunday.

Thanks to Mike Glum.

The big rumor is Smoltz is considering closing again.

Personally, I hope he dusts off the knuckleball.

Who woulda thought two 40 year old pitchers would have injury problems?

The big rumor is Smoltz is considering closing again.


It's not a rumor, it's reality:

"Smoltz said it's possible he would return to the closer role where he dominated during the 2002-04 seasons. "Yes," he said during a phone interview Tuesday night. "Right now I'm sitting at ground zero, taking it day by day, looking at every option to help this team get to the playoffs and end my career the way I'd like to end it." "
