Atlanta Braves Morning Chop: get whacked isn’t much fun

It looked like the Atlanta Braves could exhale just a bit as their starting shortstop was moving around nearly normally after being hit in the back of the head by Rick Porcello during his first AB on Tuesday.

That said, Swanson still agreed with the decision to remove himself from the game after walking down the line to tag first base before being relieved by Charlie Culberson.

But lately, it’s been…noticeable: Ronald Acuna was hit on the elbow. Ender Inciarte on the lower forearm. Swanson in the head.
