Bobby Cox hasn't used Bob Wickman in spots we would normally see the Braves closer coming in and now we know why. Dave O'Brien is reporting that Wickman will fly back to Atlanta to have his forearm checked either tonight or tomorrow. Wickman will have an MRI to check for any structural damage in the forearm or elbow but he has said that it didn't feel like the pain he had before his Tommy John surgery so that is good news. If there is no problem he will rejoin the team this next series but I am sure they are bringing Chad Paronto or Joey Devine up from Richmond just in case he has to be disabled. O'Brien says that Wickman has been feeling soreness off and on for about two weeks now.
