ATLANTA — No one is making any guesses about Mike Hampton's next move after his latest injury.
Hampton, the Atlanta Braves left-hander, has 138 career wins and almost as many injuries. He hasn't pitched in the major leagues since Aug. 19, 2005. He hurt his left groin while pitching in a minor league rehab game with Double-A Mississippi on Wednesday.
He's had two major surgeries on his left elbow in the last three years and has sustained a long line of new injuries while trying to work his way back into pitching form.
What's next? Don't ask Hampton.
"I don't know anything anymore," he said yesterday.
Don't ask manager Bobby Cox.
"Your guess is as good as mine," Cox said. "He's been (trying). You can't ask for anything more."
