Braves pitcher Tom Glavine, a 300-game winner, still isn't sure whether or not he'll be able to continue his career because of a shoulder injury.
"I feel OK," Glavine said. "I'm definitely making some progress. I'm not going to sit here and say I'm 100 percent pain-free, but I've made progress. In some areas, it's a lot. In some, not so great."
He added that he hopes to throw off a mound in the next week, which should help him determine whether or not his career is over.
"I'm more optimistic and less emotional than I was two weeks ago," Glavine said. "I've been through it in my mind, 'What if this is it?' I've confronted those feelings and somewhat come to grip with those feelings. I'm looking at it more matter-of-factly. I want to put in the work and give it one more shot."

Only two men in the history of baseball have had their own exhibitions constructed at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron.
"It makes me feel proud," Aaron said.
The exhibition features a number of mementos from his legendary playing days, including his 714th home run ball, the one that tied Ruth for the all-time record.

Braves catcher Brian McCann believes that the blurred vision in his left eye has been righted.
McCann went to an eye doctor on Tuesday morning who gave him a contact lens that initially appears to have taken care of the problem.
"I put the contact in, and it clears it up right away," McCann said. "I'm seeing good. It's a big relief. You know kind of why you've been blurry for the past couple of weeks."
