WASHINGTON - Braves right-hander John Smoltz threw 83 pitches over five innings against minor leaguers in Florida on Sunday, and is on track to make his regular-season debut next weekend.
Braves general manager Frank Wren said before Sunday's season opener against the Washington Nationals that he got a report that Smoltz threw the ball well and felt great.
Smoltz is beginning the season on the 15-day disabled list because of shoulder tightness. He's slated to start next Sunday against the New York Mets.
