| June 21, 2008 Tom Glavine is hoping 4-6 weeks will be enough for his left elbow to heal on its own, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If that time proves to be insufficient, the 42-year-old could face surgery. "It's not the kind of thing they've given me any guarantees on," said Glavine. The veteran could end up retiring instead of getting cut. "You want [your career] to end on top of your game," Glavine said. "Sometimes your body tells you it's time to go home. If this is the case, much like John [Smoltz] has said, then who am I to complain? I'm lucky I've gotten to this point in my career without going on the DL. I guess time catches up with you sooner or later." |

He is reportedly going to play some catch tomorrow, and if that goes favorably, he plans to get on the bullpen mound on Wednesday. In his estimation, hes still on track to make his next start next weekend. His turn comes up Friday against the Dodgers, but the Braves could insert a fifth starter there and give him an extra day if he needs it. Glavine stated, "Im not going to push to stay off the DL for my own personal reasons and put our team in jeopardy. When you do what I did today and come out of the game in the first inning, its taxing on the bullpen. Thank God weve got an off day tomorrow and everybody can recover." |

| April 7, 2008 Tom Glavine limited the Rockies to three hits, three walks and no runs in 6.1 innings on Monday night.

Given his collapse down the stretch last season which included a 6.10 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over his final six starts, Glavine has a lot to prove this year in his return to Atlanta. |
| March 1, 2008 Tom Glavine, who was pitching in a Braves uniform on for the first time since 2002, registered two strikeouts and allowed one run in two innings of work in the win over the Astros. Glavine doesn't offer much in the way of strike outs, but he will stay near the mean in ERA and WHIP. |
