Braves' righty phenom to have MRI on sore shoulder
Braves right-hander Jair Jurrjens has been scheduled for a scan
Wednesday to determine the cause of soreness in his right shoulder.
Jurrjens could enter the season as the team's No. 1 starter
after going 14-10 with a 2.60 ERA last year, the third-best ERA in
the NL.
Braves general manager Frank Wren says Jurrjens reported
early to the team's spring training facility in Kissimmee, Fla.
Soreness in the shoulder led to the decision for Jurrjens to have
the MRI in Atlanta.
Wren says the scan is precautionary and Jurrjens could return
to Florida after the exam "if everything is OK."
Jurrjens set a career high with 215 innings last year.
