It’s tough to play the Philadelphia Phillies. So tough that it sent Atlanta Braves third baseman, Chipper Jones to the 15 day disabled list. The Braves placed Jones on the DL for a medial meniscus tear in his right knee.
The move came prior to Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Jones is scheduled to have a procedure Saturday in Atlanta. He’ll be out roughly two-to-three weeks.
Jones is currently hitting .259 with eight homers and 46 RBIs.
He was set to go to his seventh All-Star game, bu will now miss it due to the procedure. Jones’ spot on the roster was filled by infielder Brandon Hicks, who was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett. Hicks batted .267 with 14 homers and 30 RBIs in 55 games for Gwinnett.
