Hampton Out in 2006
Atlanta pitcher Mike Hampton will have major elbow surgery next week and sit out the 2006 season.
The 33-year-old left-hander will undergo the Tommy John procedure Monday in New York.
“The expected return is 2007,” Atlanta General Manager John Schuerholz said. The Braves also announced that John Smoltz will skip today’s scheduled start because of a sore shoulder.
