John Smoltz going onto 20th year with Atlanta Braves

Smoltz to start for Braves on Sunday
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves activated ace John Smoltz off the 15-day disabled list to start against the New York Mets on Sunday.
Tom Glavine was supposed to get the nod, but the first game of the weekend series was rained out on Friday. That led manager Bobby Cox to tweak the rotation, moving Smoltz to Sunday's contest against New York's Johan Santana.
Smoltz began the season on the DL with tightness in his back, and will pitch Sunday to avoid having to make his first start in Colorado, where it's likely to be cold.
I'm not afraid of any situation," Smoltz told the team's website. "It's just that I've got to do what's best, and what's best for me is what's going to be best for the team. If this were July, it wouldn't even be an issue."
Smoltz had just one spring outing against big league competition, allowing four hits and five runs -- three earned -- in 4 2/3 innings.
To make room for Smoltz on the roster, the Braves optioned pitcher Jo-Jo Reyes to their Triple-A affiliate in Richmond.
