Simmons dealing with right forearm discomfort

MIAMI -- A little more than three weeks after returning to the big leagues for the first time in more than two years, Braves right-handed reliever Shae Simmons is dealing with yet another arm ailment.

As things currently stand, the Braves say they are not overly concerned about the right forearm discomfort that has prevented Simmons from pitching since last Sunday. But this kind of injury can often prove to be troubling for a pitcher, especially one who is 19 months removed from Tommy John surgery.

"He's not 100 percent," Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
