The club is unsure whether the All-Star will have to go on the disabled list. Omar Infante was the starter at third base for the Braves and he went 1-for 5 with a pair of RBI and a run s |

Hampton has been on the disabled list the entire season due to a strained left pectoral muscle, and hasn't pitched in the majors since August 19 of the 2005 season. He was rocked for seven runs on 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings that day versus the San Diego Padres. I |

Maybe Seattle's Jarrod Washburn or Cincinnati's Bronson Arroyo. Someone along those lines. I wouldn't count on the Atlanta Braves dealing Mark Teixeira either.

The Braves could get screwed, though. If Teixeira lea |
