--RHP Rafael Soriano is back on the 15-day disabled list with that right elbow tendinitis. Two batteries of tests have found nothing. Soriano is now awaiting the diagnosis of Dr. Lewis Yocum, whom he visited Friday. Yocum performed Soriano's 2004 elbow reconstruction surgery.
--C Brian McCann did not start Sunday because backup C Corky Miller was paired with starting RHP Jorge Campillo as usual. Campillo pitched a complete game (eight innings).
--OF Brandon Jones got the call from Class AAA Richmond June 11 after a lackluster start there because the Braves need more power in the lineup, and he has been the organization's top hitting prospect for the last three seasons.
BY THE NUMBERS: 4 -- Months before RHP John Smoltz can throw a baseball.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "If it's meant to be, I am going to do it." -- RHP John Smoltz, on whether his career is over after right shoulder surgery found significant damage.
