Mike Hampton returns to the disabled list:

Relying on Hampton for anything more than lengthy DL stints is a fool's errand, but the lefty's latest injury hightlights the precarious position of the Braves starting rotation. Atlanta has the core of a championship-caliber offense, but John Smoltz (41, shoulder), Chuck James (rotator cuff), and Tom Glavine (4 K/9 in '07) all come with varying degrees of uncertainty. Jair Jurrjens, a stike-thrower with a good curve, is a promising young arm and Tim Hudson figures to post another solid campaign, but it isn't difficult to envision a scenario where the Braves are scrambling for a starter or two at some point.
