Atlanta Braves Roster Report 2009-05-01


Atlanta Braves Roster Report 2009-05-01
The Braves opened the week missing two keys parts of their attack. C Brian McCann (blurred vision) and LF Garret Anderson (quadriceps) both landed on the disabled list over the weekend with ailments that had slowed them over the past week. Atlanta must hope backup C David Ross and reserve OFs Matt Diaz and Brandon Jones can provide some pop.

PLAYER NEWS:

--C Brian McCann's contact-lens saga continues with another experiment, this one testing a lens in each eye. He served as a DH in his first two rehab games with Class A Myrtle Beach, going a combined 1-for-6.

--RHP Jorge Campillo says his shoulder is feeling much better, but he still has not begun any sort of throwing. He recently suggested that he may do light tossing Friday.

MEDICAL WATCH:

RHP Kenshin Kawakami (right shoulder fatigue) had his next start pushed back from May 2 to May 5.

C Brian McCann (blurriness in left eye) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 23. He began a rehab assignment with Class A Myrtle Beach on April 28.

LF Garret Anderson (left quadriceps strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 20.

RHP Jorge Campillo (right shoulder tendinitis) went on the 15-day disabled list April 17. He said he was merely suffering from a dead arm.

LHP Tom Glavine (shoulder and elbow surgeries) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 1. He had to cut short an April 12 rehab start with Class AA Mississippi with shoulder discomfort, and he was shut down from throwing for two weeks.

RHP Charlie Morton (left oblique strain) went on the 15-day disabled list March 30. He began a rehab assignment with Class AAA Gwinnett on April 12.

RHP Tim Hudson (Tommy John surgery on right elbow in August 2008) went on the 60-day disabled list March 4. He is targeting an August return date, barring setbacks.
