Bob Wickman on the DL

Bad News -

"ATLANTA -- Based on the dominance that he'd previously shown, it was becoming apparent that something wasn't right with Bob Wickman. This was confirmed on Monday afternoon, when the Braves placed him on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in the upper right portion of his back. He has felt some discomfort for the last couple of weeks."

-"While Wickman is out, Braves manager Bobby Cox says that he'll use both Rafael Soriano and Mike Gonzalez in the closer's role. "

-"Chad Paronto has been activated from the disabled list and will take Wickman's spot in the bullpen. Paronto had missed the past two weeks with a strained right adductor muscle. He hasn't had any discomfort in the upper leg region over the past week."

Just what we need...Wickman to have injury problems. It will be interesting to see how Soriano and Gonzalez do while filling in.
