Former Brave's Health Scare

Our well wishes go out to former Braves and current Chicago Cubs second baseman Mark DeRosa, after he checked out of an area hospital on Sunday. During morning drills, DeRosa started to complain of a rapid heart beat which according to team doctors had happened to Mark in the past, but this time the atrial dysrhythmia lasted longer than normal.

DeRosa will be checked out by team doctors on Monday and if everything goes well he'll be back with the team mid-week.

Mark, a NJ native, was drafted by the Braves in 1996 and remained with the team through the 2004 season. In 2005, he signed with the Rangers and later with the Cubs.

UPDATE: Great news, DeRosa is expected to be back in the line-up for the Cubs on Monday.
