July 28, 200818 yr ATLANTA -- The Braves announced six roster moves a few hours before Monday's series opener with the Cardinals, to be started by Charlie Morton, who was recalled from Triple-A Richmond. Third baseman Chipper Jones, nursing a left hamstring strain, was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time this season. Right-hander Tim Hudson, fighting tightness in his right elbow, was also placed on the DL, and lefty Jo-Jo Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Richmond. Righty Jeff Bennett was promoted to the Braves from Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach, and catcher Clint Sammons was also recalled. Morton was optioned to Richmond on Saturday to make room on the active roster for Mike Hampton. Morton, who will be pitching Monday on five days' rest, traveled with the team back to Atlanta on Sunday night. In his last start, on Tuesday against the Marlins, Morton allowed four runs on two hits -- the most damaging a three-run, fourth-inning homer -- in 5 2/3 innings and lost. Morton was 2-3 with a 6.00 ERA in seven starts this season. http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/news/articl...sp&c_id=mlb

July 29, 200818 yr and when you didn't think it could get worse, it does: Hudson to see Dr. James Andrews (cue thunder). add that to mccann possibly looking at the dl and you have the bad newz braves. if huddy's elbow is blown out, we can probably kiss 2009 goodbye and start thinking about a fire sale and 2010 and beyond. this has been the worst year to be a braves fan since 1988, and the first time the younger fans have seen such a bad team.
