News: The Braves removed reliever Rafael Soriano (inflamed elbow), reliever Peter Moylan (Tommy John elbow surgery), Tom Glavine (torn flexor tendon in elbow) and starter Tim Hudson (Tommy John elbow surgery) from the 60-day DL, adding them back to the 40-man roster.
Analysis: Soriano and Glavine are hoping to be ready for spring training and are sleepers in deeper leagues on Draft Day. Moylan will likely be ready from his surgery sometime in the first half, while Hudson is out until at least mid-August, which makes him nothing more than a DL stashee at this point

The Associated Press reports the Atlanta Braves transferred RP Rafael Soriano (elbow) to the 60-day disabled list Tuesday, Sept. 2.
The Associated Press reports Atlanta Braves RP Rafael Soriano (elbow) will be moved from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list to free up roster space on the 40-man roster.
News: Atlanta will recall SP Charlie Morton, SS Brent Lillibridge and RP Jeff Ridgway from Triple-A Richmond on Tuesday. The Braves will purchase the contracts of C Corky Miller and RP James Parr from Richmond. All five will be added to the roster for Tuesday's game in Florida. To make room on the 40-man roster, OF Matt Diaz and RP Rafael Soriano will be moved from the 15-day to the 60-day disabled list.
Analysis: Soriano had elbow surgery on Thursday and is expected to be ready by spring training next season. Soriano had an ulnar nerve transposition and a small bone spur removed from his right elbow by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala. Soriano, who has been on the 15-day disabled list three times this season, was 0-1 with three saves and a 2.57 ERA in 14 games. He pitched 14 innings, allowing seven hits and walking nine with 16 strikeouts. The 28-year-old Soriano was 3-3 with a 3.00 ERA and nine saves in 72 innings in 2007 with Atlanta. He was acquired by the Braves from Seattle in December 2006 in exchange for left-handed pitcher Horacio Ramirez. Soriano might compete for the Braves' closer job in 2009, but it's safe to cut him in all formats since he won't be back in 2008
Status: D.L.. Out for the season
