He decided today to undergo season-ending surgery that will end his season, and possibly his career. Even if he never picks up a baseball again he is worthy of a spot in the Hall of Fame.

Rafael Soriano, coming off his own injury, takes over for the Braves who also await the return of Mike Gonzalez. Most other bullpen situations have stabilized for now, but some players will be prime candidates to be traded to contenders very soon. Find out who in this week's Closer Report plus rankings for middle relievers.

He should provide a huge boost to New York, and he can still help your fantasy team. Some other guy named Joba also debuted as a starter, a pitcher not named Smoltz got the save for Atlanta, and another prospect (Radhames Liz) flew under the radar and pitched well for Baltimore.

He is a little known 29-year old rookie for the Braves and throws an invisible pitch. He has gone from obscurity in the Mexican league to baffling major league batters. Troy Percival hits the DL, and Jason Bartlett and Ian Stewart arrive to help your fantasy teams in the middle infield.

Old stand-bys Trevor Hoffman, Billy Wagner, and Mariano Rivera are proving they still have it and John Smotlz could be poised to make his return as well.

Smoltz was all set to accompany the team on their current road trip, but was left behind in Atlanta due to flu-like symptoms. Because of the sickness the team will obviously leave him behind for a couple days to get better. He'll now most likely make another rehab appearance for Single-A Rome around mid-week.
