Lookin' Like Lima Time!

Maine's finger injury (swollen? sore? whatever?) is apparently bad enough to prevent him from making his start on Sunday. It's affecting one or more of his pitches - and apparently was doing so during his previous start. Nothing official yet but Eddie C. said around 5 or so Friday that a switch was likely. No word on what [u:d460073063]40 man[/u:d460073063] shenanigans would need to go on before getting him up here. DL-ing Maine would be the probable 25-man swap I'm guessing.

Wow. They also can call up Heath Bell and try a start for Heilman. Go get 'em, Jose.

- Maine DL'd - Fortunado up for today's (Sat) game to beef up the pen - Presumedly he'll go down immediately afterward in order to activate Lima for Sunday - Also Braves DL Chuck James (the lefty who walked off the mound after turning his knee last night) and Smoltz will be moved up to pitch tomorrow instead of Jorge Sosa who came in last night just in time to lose the game.
