--LHP Mike Hampton, who has been rehabbing forever, will start Saturday against the Phillies. Hampton hasn't pitched in the majors since Aug. 19, 2005, due to a variety of surgeries and muscle tears.
--LHP Tom Glavine threw a bullpen session Friday, and reports it went well. He'll be throwing another session on Sunday.
--LHP Jo-Jo Reyes was originally scheduled to start against the Phillies and Cole Hamels on Saturday, but he is no longer listed as the probable starter by the Braves. Manager Bobby Cox still has faith in Reyes, but not enough to entrust this critical start to him. LHP Mike Hampton, who hasn't pitched in the majors since Aug. 19, 2005 due to a variety of surgeries and muscle tears, gets the start instead.
BY THE NUMBERS: 20 -- Career multi-homer games for 1B Mark Teixeira after he had one for the second time this season July 20.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I wouldn't sell my soul to the devil but I'd get pretty close." -- LHP Mike Hampton, on everything he has done to try to pitch again.
