"A two-week stint on the disabled list did little to help Jair Jurrjens' sore right knee, and now he's planning to travel to Vail, Colo. to get a second opinion from noted knee specialist Dr. Richard Steadman. An MRI taken on it Wednesday revealed a bone bruise.

Jurrjens is scheduled to pitch on Sunday against the Dodgers, but that's looking doubtful now. The Braves could slot Randall Delgado from Triple-A Gwinnett in that spot – he hasn't pitched since Aug. 26 – and then have Julio Teheran pitch the second game of the doubleheader in New York on Sept. 8.

Jurrjens said his concern now is not finishing the regular season but being ready for the postseason. This same knee kept him out of the postseason a year ago."
