Atlanta Braves utility infielder Alberto Callaspo was scratched before Monday's 6-3 loss because he could be part of a potential trade, manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

Gonzalez said he got a phone call from the Braves' front office just before batting practice ended.

"We didn't want him to get hurt," Gonzalez said, according to MLB.
