LHP Jo-Jo Reyes (blister on left index finger) left the May 8 game. He doesn't expect to miss a start.
RHP Buddy Carlyle (strained neck muscle) left the May 8 game. He is day-to-day.
INF Omar Infante (broken left hand) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 21. He began a rehab assignment with Class AAA Richmond on May 5, and he was activated May 8.
C Brayan Pena (strained back) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 5.
INF Martin Prado (sprained left thumb) went on the 15-day disabled list May 5.
RHP John Smoltz (severely inflamed right biceps tendon and right rotator cuff inflammation) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 28. No timeframe has been given for his return but Smoltz was able to throw with little pain in his shoulder on May 11, though there is some lingering soreness in his trapezius muscle.
RHP Peter Moylan (bone spur in right elbow) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 12, and he was transferred to the 60-day DL on May 5. He will have surgery May 8, and he almost certainly is out for the season.
RHP Rafael Soriano (right elbow tendinitis) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 7. He had to cut short a bullpen session May 6 because of continued discomfort in the elbow, but an MRI found no serious problems. He reported only minor soreness in a May 11 session.
LHP Mike Hampton (strained left pectoral muscle) was hurt while warming up for the April 3 game. He went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 29. He left a rehab start with Class AAA Richmond on April 30 due to continuing discomfort in the pectoral muscle, though surgery was ruled out when no tearing was discovered on an MRI.
LHP Mike Gonzalez (Tommy John elbow surgery in May 2007) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 21. He was not expected to be ready to pitch until after the All-Star break, but he hopes to return in May. His velocity was back in the 90s in early May.
RHP Anthony Lerew (Tommy John elbow surgery in July 2007) went on the 60-day disabled list retroactive to March 21.
