"Chris Reitsma was forced to leave Monday night's game against the Yankees with what appears to be a slight strain of his left hamstring. Both Reitsma and the Braves are hopeful the injury is a minor one and that he'll be able ready to assume his role as closer when the regular season begins next week.
"It's just a little strain," Reitsma said. "I think I got out of there in time. I'm glad I didn't keep going and do something real bad. Hopefully it's something that just takes one or two days and I'll be ready to go."
All I have to say is that hamstrings are nagging injuries.
This article says that Kyle Davies is in this year's rotation no matter what happens. If the Braves don't make a trade, either Thomson or Sosa will start the season in the bullpen.
Mike Remlinger and Chuck James will start the season as the left-handed relievers.
