John Smoltz developed a knot in his shoulder:

Wednesday side session. It's the same area that he injured when he slipped making a warmup pitch on May 29 at Milwaukee, but Smoltz said this isn't anywhere near the severity of that injury.

He pitched after that injury, but ended up going on the disabled list in July when the inflammation wouldn't subside without an injection and rest.

The soreness is not in the shoulder that would indicate rotator-cuff or labrum problems, the type that most commonly require surgery.

"So many people the last few years have just been waiting to say, 'This is it,'" Smoltz said, referring to those who've anticipated a career-threatening injury to the man who's had four elbow surgeries.

"I will let everyone know when it's it. That's not a problem."
