Glavine encouraged after throwing: Braves SP Tom Glavine threw off the bullpen mound Saturday for the first time since landing on the disabled list in early June because of a strained left elbow. He said he threw about 40 pitches at about 60 percent effort and said "it went all right." He said he tried all his pitches. "I actually threw pretty good, which I was kind of surprised about since I hadn't thrown in six weeks," said Glavine, who went on the DL on June 11. Glavine plans to take a couple days off before throwing again. (Updated 07/20/2008).
Injury Report
Elbow - 15-day DL. Out until at least mid-August (Updated - 7/9/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Glavine is out until at least mid-August at this point, so consider him nothing more than a DL stashee in deeper leagues. There is no guarantee he can pitch again. If he does, the Braves do have a potent offense to get him run support, though. (Updated 07/20/2008).
