Glavine on DL for first time in 22-year career

 
Braves pitcher Tom Glavine went on the disabled list for the first time in his 22-year career Friday night, forced out by a strained right hamstring that needs more time to heal. The 42-year-old left-hander had hoped to start Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, six days after leaving a start at Washington in the first inning. Even before Friday night's series opener, Glavine sounded optimistic he could avoid the DL. "Hopefully it was just one of those freak things," he said. (link)
