Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz left yesterday's game against Milwaukee with a minor injury. According to the Associated Press, "Smoltz, who recorded his 200th victory on Thursday, left the game in the fourth inning after a brief mound visit from the trainer. The right-hander hurt his shoulder while warming up for the inning when he slipped on the mound and re-injured his ailing right pinkie in his previous at-bat." He's not supposed to miss a start, but says he wants to take a few days off to make sure.

It doesn't look serious: Hopefully he won't miss his start

Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz felt fine after playing catch Wednesday before his team's game against the Milwaukee Brewers.

The 40-year-old right-hander left Tuesday night's game in the fourth inning after aggravating a pinkie injury while batting and then feeling a tweak in his pitching shoulder while warming up on the mound.

"I was pleasantly pleased," Smoltz said after playing catch.

The next step will be for Smoltz to throw on the side Friday before the team plays the Chicago Cubs. He is scheduled to start Sunday at Chicago.
