As I wrote two days ago the Atlanta Braves decided to take Blair out of the rotation and allow him to work on his mechanic with Roger McDowell on the side. According to Kevin McCalpin and others Blair is having an issue with his knee.

There’s no word so far about how long the knee has been bothering him but a gimpy push-off leg would certainly play havoc with your mechanics.
