After leaving the game in the 7-3 victory over the Mets, Dansby Swanson was sent back home by the Atlanta Braves today to have further evaluations ran on his ailing hand/wrist.
Alan, in today’s Morning Chop, hinted at the possibility of losing Swanson for the remainder of the regular season, should this be more troublesome than first thought.
Atlanta’s official reason for removing him last night was for “precautionary” reasons.
That precautionary exit could leave Atlanta needing another bench spot to fill should this carry over to the post-season.
Swanson has missed time this year already with wrist/hand issues.
