#Braves pitcher Hanson stopped bullpen session after just nine pitches, presumably for more shoulder discomfort via twitter 6 mins ago

Not good, we can not afford to lose Hanson, especially with the way Lowe has been all year.

All teams deal with injuries. We just have to overcome. I'll be happy with Minor and Beachy both in the rotation. Honestly, I feel more comfortable with them on the mound than I do with Hanson or JJ as of late. Maybe it is due to the lingering pains for Hanson and JJ as an explaination for their not so hot pitching. Let them rest a bit and not come back until they feel good.

We need all those arms in triple A in the bigs now, IMO.

O'brien of AJC, said he talked with Fredi about Sept call ups. There will be several including Teheran and Delgado. Also will call up JC Boscan to have a 3rd catcher on the roster.

Tommy Hanson has returned to Atlanta to have his right shoulder examined.

We'll need Tommy to get as close to 100% as possible. I hope this lingering injury just requires more rest. *Positive thoughts*

MRI shows a sub surface small rotator cuff tear. Will not require surgery. Not uncommon. Just rest and rehab it. Should be OK for Playoffs.
