Smoltz activated from DL, makes season debut
Baseball Betting Lines
06/25/2009 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Right-handed pitcher John Smoltz was activated from the 15-day disabled list on Thursday in time to make his season and Red Sox debut.
It was not a successful one for the 42-year-old, who was charged with seven hits and five runs over five innings in the Sox' 9-3 loss to the Washington Nationals.
The veteran hurler signed a one-year deal with Boston back in January, ending a run of more than two decades with the Atlanta Braves. However, he had not pitched since June 2, 2008 and shortly thereafter had a procedure to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
Smoltz did become the 41st pitcher in major-league history to appear in 21 different seasons, fourth most among active pitchers. Only Jamie Moyer, Randy Johnson and Tom Glavine have toed the rubber in more years.
To make room on the roster, Boston optioned catcher Dusty Brown to Triple-A Pawtucket after Tuesday's game.
