According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Chipper Jones is expected to land on the disabled list before the Braves take on the Phillies Tuesday night. He’s missed eight straight starts battling a quad injury.
We’re expecting Chipper Jones to go on the 15-day disabled list this afternoon, which is obviously bad news for the Braves, who don’t win nearly as frequently without their best hitter in the lineup.
Jones was off to one of those years that baseball fans could just sit back and marvel at. He’s currently hitting .394, with 16 home runs and has driven in 46 RBI. At 36 years old, Jones has been one of the many breaths of fresh air during this baseball season and here’s hoping he recovers quickly.
