Jesse Chavez was clobbered in the left shin with a 95+ mph grounder in game one of yesterday’s doubleheader and had to be carried off the field. His x-rays were negative, but he was reportedly feeling the pain this morning. So, the Braves were compelled to make a change today to bolster a bullpen that was heavily used yesterday.
The #Braves today recalled RHP Ben Heller to Atlanta and placed RHP Jesse Chavez on the 15-day injured list with a left shin contusion.
