Tom Glavine woke up Monday morning with his right hamstring feeling no worse, which was good news for the 42-year-old pitcher trying to avoid the disabled list for the first time in his career.
"It's OK," Glavine wrote in a text message. "No worse. Just trying to move it around as much as I can."

Glavine faced only four hitters in his outing on Sunday in Washington before feeling his hamstring grab as he extended on a fastball to Wily Mo Pena.
Glavine said he was planning to play catch on Tuesday when the Braves open a series in Florida. If that goes well, he could be on the mound for a side session Wednesday. Glavine is still moving forward with the idea that he won't miss his next scheduled start next Friday or Saturday against the Dodgers.
"In my mind," he said. "But I've never been through this before, and I'm a little stubborn."
