The Atlanta Braves has had a lot of things to cringe about during 2016. But you could indeed say that Dansby Swanson’s injury on Monday was a microcosm of this mostly-forgettable season.
If you missed it, it was one of those bizarre things that happens occasionally. It ranks down there with Craig Kimbrel blowing out a knee while shagging fly balls during batting practice for the Red Sox, or Tom Glavine breaking a rib while throwing up.
Fortunately this wasn’t that serious. But that lead to some fun thereafter.
