ATLANTA (AP) -- Braves right-hander Tommy Hanson says his right
shoulder is feeling good and he expects to be on a regular routine
for the start of spring training.

Hanson enjoyed a strong first half of the 2011 season. He made
only five starts after the All-Star break due to persistent pain in
the shoulder. A small tear was found in his right rotator cuff that
did not require surgery.

He resumed throwing last month. He said before working out at
Turner Field Thursday his shoulder "feels really good."

Hanson won at least 10 games in each of his three seasons. He
had 10 wins at the All-Star break last year but won only one more
game.

Braves pitchers and catchers report to spring training on Feb.
19.
