Paul Maholm (wrist) hopes to throw a light bullpen session off the mound sometime this weekend. Maholm is eligible to return from the disabled list on Monday, but the earliest he'd return is August 10 against Miami. "We'll see how he throws this weekend on the side and see what he needs after that," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "My thinking is he may need (to throw) some BP or a sim(ulated) game, or maybe even a couple of innings in a rehab start before we run him back out there to face live major league hitters."
