The Braves had Hampton on a timetable to return to the rotation on May 7, but that will likely be pushed back now. His slower-than-expected recovery from Tommy John surgery could sideline him for the entire first half and maybe turn him into a complete non-factor this year.
Not good news for Braves fans. I heard about this while watching game 3 yesterday. I sure hope Redman and Davies and fill the void but what I've seen of Redman so far, I can't wait until Cormier is healthy. I would like to see what Matt Harrison can do for the Braves. He is stated to be the #1 starter for Richmond this year from what I hear and he pitched pretty good in spring training. I wouldn't doubt him getting a call-up sometime this season.
