John Smoltz didn't experience any right shoulder discomfort during a bullpen session on Thursday, and he is confident that he'll start for the Braves on April 6, according MLB.com.

"As I said earlier, [the shoulder] just needed some time to settle down," Smoltz said. "It's settled down. Now I'll be able to approach it the way I approach anything else."

"I'm just going to throw until I've had enough, and I'll know when that is," Smoltz added. "Whatever I do will be sufficient. When I had enough, I got off the mound today."

The Braves will be battling the Mets on April 6, with Smoltz's likely opponent being Johan Santana.
