According to David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, John Smoltz was scratched from his scheduled start today in the Disney Wide World of Sports Complex versus the Cleveland Indians with tightness in his right shoulder. The injury could be severe enough to land him on the 15-DL, which would mean that he would miss at least one week of the regular season on top of the time missed in spring training. Jeff Bennett made the spot start in favor of Smoltz today for the Braves.
