| June 24, 2008 Tom Glavine has been told to rest his sore left elbow for the next 4-6 weeks. The program includes total rest for two weeks before the veteran begins strengthening exercises, according to the AP. Glavine said two MRI exams have confirmed the ligament in the elbow is strong, but the problem is the flexor tendon, which is pulling away from the bone. |
| June 21, 2008 Tom Glavine is hoping 4-6 weeks will be enough for his left elbow to heal on its own, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. If that time proves to be insufficient, the 42-year-old could face surgery. "It's not the kind of thing they've given me any guarantees on," said Glavine. The veteran could end up retiring instead of getting cut. "You want [your career] to end on top of your game," Glavine said. "Sometimes your body tells you it's time to go home. If this is the case, much like John [Smoltz] has said, then who am I to complain? I'm lucky I've gotten to this point in my career without going on the DL. I guess time catches up with you sooner or later." |

Glavine has apparently been dealing with the injury for a while. "It concerns me quite a bit," Glavine said. "It's been hurting me for over a month and it's not getting any better. I think only one other time in my career, I've had an issue with my elbow." |

| April 24, 2008 Tom Glavine remains on schedule to return from the DL and start on Tuesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

| April 14, 2008 Tom Glavine's injured hamstring is no worse on Monday, according to the Atlanta Journal Constitution. He is reportedly going to play some catch tomorrow, and if that goes favorably, he plans to get on the bullpen mound on Wednesday. In his estimation, hes still on track to make his next start next weekend. His turn comes up Friday against the Dodgers, but the Braves could insert a fifth starter there and give him an extra day if he needs it. Glavine stated, "Im not going to push to stay off the DL for my own personal reasons and put our team in jeopardy. When you do what I did today and come out of the game in the first inning, its taxing on the bullpen. Thank God weve got an off day tomorrow and everybody can recover." |
| April 13, 2008 Tom Glavine is not sure of the severity of his hamstring injury, and the team will wait until Monday or Tuesday to decide his potential DL status.

"Tomorrow, if it's really sore, obviously that'd be an indication I might be in some trouble." |

| April 13, 2008 Tom Glavine ,who started Sunday's game in Washington, was removed from the contest in the first inning after being visited by the team trainer.

| April 7, 2008 Tom Glavine limited the Rockies to three hits, three walks and no runs in 6.1 innings on Monday night. Glavine can still pitch when everything falls into place, but nights like this come around rarely for the aging vet. Don't expect this type of production from Glavine this season, and it might even be wise to start exploring trade offers already. |
| April 6, 2008 Tom Glavine has been bumped from his first start against the Mets today, according to SlamSports. The Braves have shuffled their starting rotation, moving John Smoltz to today's game against Johan Santana and the Mets.

Glavine will take the hill when the Braves open a series against the Rockies Monday night. |
| April 1, 2008 Tom Glavine was dealt a no decision on Monday night against the Pirates, in his return start with the Braves, as he allowed two runs on seven hits over five innings, with two walks and three strikeouts.

| March 6, 2008 Tom Glavine allowed two runs and two walks on Thursday in 2.2 innings, this according to a report on MLB.com. "The first two [innings] were alright," said Glavine. "But that's typically the case down here. Any time you extend yourself another inning, that next inning gets a little tougher." Given his collapse down the stretch last season which included a 6.10 ERA and 1.52 WHIP over his final six starts, Glavine has a lot to prove this year in his return to Atlanta. |
| March 1, 2008 Tom Glavine, who was pitching in a Braves uniform on for the first time since 2002, registered two strikeouts and allowed one run in two innings of work in the win over the Astros. Glavine doesn't offer much in the way of strike outs, but he will stay near the mean in ERA and WHIP. |
