Smoltz Watch – May 22, 2009

By: mbohn

Hopefully you did not draft John Smoltz this year in your fantasy league. You were probably like me, and picked him up to stash in one of your Prior List slots. So now you are beginning to wonder if you have been wasting that spot for a good reason (okay, it is not really wasting it, especially if you have not needed it yet), and when the Great One will be taking the hill for you. We will soon begin to get those answers, as Smoltz threw three rehab innings yesterday in Augusta, GA.
In those three innings of work, Smoltz have up one hit while striking out two for A Greenville. As far as we can tell, he is on track for a June return, it is just unclear how early in June that return will be. The upside with Smoltz crushes any risk in stashing him for a few months, so continue to be patient. The good news is now that he is actually on the hill pitching, we should start to get some good, solid information on when to expect him back in the Majors. With the Braves scheduled to visit Fenway for a three game set beginning on June 19th, you can trust that Smoltz will do all in his power to be ready for that series.
