March 30, 2009 |
| Glavine is out for the season, and his illustrious career could be over if he needs major surgery on his left elbow. He still hopes to return next year - unless he needs elbow ligament replacement surgery. A 300-game winner, the 42-year-old said Saturday he will be examined by Dr. James Andrews next week in Alabama. Glavine, who was placed on the disabled list Friday with a torn flexor tendon in his left elbow, plans to have surgery to repair the tendon. |

Right elbow surgery - out for season |
on 60-day DL |
August 1, 2009 |
| Hudson is clinging to the slimmest of hopes that he might be able to avoid Tommy John surgery. He has been getting treatment and will attempt to throw this weekend, even though at least two doctors have determined he needs ligament replacement surgery. The recovery period for such an operation is generally about a year, which means the pitcher would miss good chunk of next season as well. |

March 1, 2009 |
| Moylan will miss the rest of the season after having elbow-ligament replacement surgery Thursday. Dr. James Andrews operated on Moylan's right elbow in Birmingham, Ala., after finding a bone spur had broken off and compromised the ligament, Braves spokesman Brad Hainje said. Moylan opened the season as the setup man to closer Rafael Soriano, who is on the disabled list with a sore elbow. Moylan was 0-1 with one save and a 1.59 ERA this season. |

Torn labrum, right shoulder |
on 60-day DL |
September 12, 2008 |
| Albers decided Wednesday to attempt to rehabilitate his ailing right shoulder rather than have surgery on a torn labrum. Albers was placed on the 15-day disabled list last Thursday after an MRI revealed the injury. If Albers successfully rehabilitates the injury, he'll miss approximately two months. Surgery would keep him sidelined from eight to 10 months, so he could opt for an operation later and still be healthy in time to contribute in 2009. |

| Baez, who is rehabbing from elbow surgery, had a minor setback a couple weeks ago but is throwing again at 120 feet. Orioles manager Dave Trembley said Baez is a month behind closer Chris Ray, who is not expected to return until August. This likely makes Baez's return for this season questionable. |

Colon, who has been on the disabled list since June 17 with a lower back sprain, walked two, struck out two and threw 23 of 40 pitches for strikes. He topped out at 90 mph on the radar gun, consistently threw in the 88-89 range and allowed only one hard-hit ball. His return to the Red Sox is unclear. |

September 10, 2008 |
| Drew hit in the batting cage Tuesday and is feeling better, but it's still unlikely he'll return soon, the Boston Globe reported. Boston's trade for Mark Kotsay was a good indication of their uncertainty about Drew's back strain. He is eligible to be activated at any time, but with plenty of outfield help, look for the Red Sox to be cautious. |

| Paulino is headed to Houston, where he'll begin a rehab-and-conditioning program with the club's athletic training staff. Paulino has made little progress since he was shut down during spring training with a pinched nerve in his right arm. He was cleared to start throwing about a month ago, but he recently suffered another setback and has been restricted to nothing more than light tossing. |
