With the Braves holding a two-run lead in the bottom of the sixth in the first game of a doubleheader in Detroit, Jesse Chavez came in to face Miguel Cabrera. The latter hit a comebacker that collided with Chavez’ leg and knocked him off his feet. Chavez was slow to get up and could not put any weight on the leg.

At the time of writing, it’s not clear whether Chavez suffered a serious injury that will keep him out of commission for a lengthy period of time.
