Braves' reliever John Smoltz was "pretty sore" after returning to the mound against the Marlins on Monday, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "Not bad, not good," manager Bobby Cox said of Smoltz's day-after discomfort. "He's pretty sore." It was the first relief appearance for Smoltz in 44 months and his first action since coming off the disabled list with shoulder issues.
