Atlanta Braves Roster Report 2009-05-04


Atlanta Braves Roster Report 2009-05-04
The team is in flux thanks to a few key injuries and a sputtering offense. Manager Bobby Cox continues to massage his lineup while waiting for the return of C Brian McCann and LF Garrett Anderson.

PLAYER NEWS:

--RHP Kenshin Kawakami (right shoulder fatigue) was preparing for his start Tuesday against the Mets. His last start was skipped to allow a few more days of rest.

--LF Garret Anderson (strained left quad) declined manager Bobby Cox's request that he go on a rehab assignment, which is his right as a veteran player. Anderson is eligible to be activated Tuesday.

--RHP Jair Jurrjens allowed his first home run of the season in the top of the first inning during a two-inning, rain-shortened start Saturday. Jurrjens had pitched 31 1/3 innings this year and 47 1/3 innings dating back to last year without giving up a homer.

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, and he will play for Class AAA Gwinnett beginning May 5 or May 6.

LF Garret Anderson (left quadriceps strain) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 20. He declined a rehab assignment and is expected to be activated May 5.

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.
