Chipper Lands on DL for First Time This Season
Braves placed third baseman Chipper Jones on the 15-day disabled list a strained left hamstring. Tim Hudson is joining him. By placing both on the disabled list, the Braves could be waving the white flag on their season, making a Mark Teixeira trade more likely. Omar Infante and Martin Prado will fill in at third base for the next couple of weeks. The move for Jones will likely be retroactive to July 24, so he could return in early August if things go according to plan. He has played in 89 of 103 games this season, but hasn’t played in more than 137 games since the start of the 2004. (Rotoworld, CBS Sports)
