--CF Mark Kotsay's back feels much better after aggressive treatment on it throughout the day, although he was still cautious enough not to want to risk starting Wednesday, missing his third consecutive start.
--OF Matt Diaz was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left posterior cruciate ligament and lacerations below the left knee, the result of crashing into an unpadded area of the wall down the third base line at Miller Park on Tuesday. He returned to Atlanta for tests, scheduled for Thursday morning, to determine the severity of the injury. --RHP Jorge Campillo's blisters are drained and dried, and he anticipates being able to make Thursday's scheduled start. RHP Jeff Bennett is an option if he can't, as is the possibility of calling up RHP Charlie Morton from Class AAA Richmond.
--RHP Rafael Soriano (right elbow tendinitis) was activated from the 15-day disabled list. He has not pitched since April 6, when he got his first save, against the Mets.
--LHP Mike Gonzalez (Tommy John rehab) has been given the OK by team doctors to begin a rehab assignment with Class AA Mississippi, which is expected to last about 10 days.
BY THE NUMBERS: 17-7 -- LHP Tom Glavine's record against the Mets (2.82 ERA).
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I think he likes to talk about retirement and then he realizes what he's talking about and comes to his senses." -- LHP Tom Glavine, on manager Bobby Cox signing another one-year contract extension.
