Smoltz to have Season Ending Surgery



















"I can't compete with my body anymore," John Smoltz said during his press conference today.

Smoltz will have season ending surgery on his right shoulder next week.

Smoltz made his return Monday night out of the bullpen in the ninth inning as the closer, but blew the lead and save to the Marlins allowing three hits and two earned runs.

Over his career Smoltz has compiled 210 wins and 154 saves with a 3.26 ERA.

The Braves currently trail the Phillies in the NL East by 3.5 games.
