John Smoltz text messaged the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he will return from his latest injury as a reliever.

"I am planning on coming back as a reliever first and more than likely for the rest of this year," Smoltz said in a text message to the newspaper late Wednesday.

Smoltz is the only pitcher in MLB history with 200 wins and 150 saves.
