Month six in the MLB season, but it’s really like month eight if you’re counting voluntary workouts and Spring Training. September can be an awful month for many reasons and injuries are definitely one of them. 2017 has felt like an injury filled season for the Atlanta Braves.
From Freddie Freeman’s wrist injury that set him back months to Matt Kemp’s lingering hamstring issues, the Braves have had their fair share of injuries.
