Charlie Morton was recalled from Triple-A Richmond to make the start tonight after being optioned on Saturday to make room for Mike Hampton on the active roster. Chipper Jones was placed on the 15-day DL for the first time this series due to his left hamstring, and joing him on the DL is Tim Hudson with tightness in his right elbow.  As Morton was recalled up, Jo-Jo Reyes was optioned to Triple-A Richmond.  Righty Jeff Bennett was promoted to the Braves from Class A Advanced Myrtle Beach alongside catcher Clint Sammons who was also recalled.
