Phoenix — Veteran left hander Tom Glavine is scheduled to make his last injury-rehab start Tuesday for Class-A Rome, and could join the Braves' rotation during the 10-game homestand that begins Tuesday.

The 43-year-old is recovering from shoulder and elbow surgeries and has been on the disabled list all season.

"His arm strength last time was improved; he felt great," manager Bobby Cox said of Thursday's start at triple-A Gwinnett. "We'll keep our fingers crossed."
