ATLANTA - Greg Maddux is scheduled to pitch against the Marlins Saturday night. Maddux left his start Wednesday after one inning because of a sore back. <br> <br> The four-time Cy Young Award winner returned from his first career trip to the disabled list last Friday and pitched five scoreless innings in a 2-0 win over Florida. <br> <br> Jason Marquis was supposed to start last night but was out with a sore shoulder. Marquis&#39; next scheduled start is Tuesday, when the Braves begin a three-game series against Arizon. <br> <br> Tom Glavine is scheduled to pitch Sunday, followed by Kevin Millwood on Monday when Atlanta wraps up four games against Florida. <br> <br> And, Gary Sheffield is listed as day-to-day with a sprained left wrist. Sheffield was held out of the lineup for the third straight game last night. <br> <br> The Atlanta right fielder - who was hit by pitches twice at Philadelphia on April 11th - took a cortisone shot Thursday. <br> <br> Julio Franco, batting in Sheffield&#39;s cleanup spot, started at first base. B.J. Surhoff moved from first to right field. <br> <br> Acquired in an off-season trade that sent Brian Jordan and Odalis Perez to Los Angeles, Sheffield is batting .263 with three homers and nine RBI&#39;s. He is hitless in his last 11 at-bats.
