The Atlanta Braves have placed outfielder Kelly Johnson on the 15-day DL with a right oblique strain. He suffered this injury in the 1st inning of Wednesday evening’s game.
“It was an oblique and we are going to DL him,” Fredi Gonzalez told the media after the game. “It’s one of those things that we don’t mess with. The oblique will linger and Todd Cunningham will meet us in Miami.”
As we saw on Fox Sports South’s broadcast, Johnson looked in pain after his first swing in the 1st inning.
