Calf - 15-day DL. Out until at least early June (Updated - 5/25/12)
News
The Braves made a move after Friday’s loss to the Nationals, putting third baseman Chipper Jones on the 15-day disabled list with a left leg contusion. The move comes after the Braves found themselves in need of a third catcher, as David Ross was forced to leave the game Friday with a right groin strain, so they will call one up to replace Jones.

News
Braves’ starting pitcher Randall Delgado allowed only one run in his first five innings on Thursday, however the wheels came off in the sixth, as he allowed a single and two walks while recording just one out before being pulled with the bases loaded. Reliever Kris Medlen came in to try to pitch out of the jam, but that did not work out as he allowed a home run to Devin Mesoraco, the first batter he saw. That finished Delgado’s night, as he finished with four earned runs allowed in 5 1/3 innings, with seven hits and three walks, while striking out four in the game. His record fell to 2-5 on the year, as the Braves lost, 6-3.

News
Braves catcher David Ross got the start for the fourth game in a row on Friday against the Nationals, in place of Brian McCann, who has been dealing with an illness. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave the game following a second-inning at bat, after suffering a right groin injury. He is being considered day-to-day, and will be re-evaluated on Saturday.

News
Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was back in the lineup on Friday against the Nationals, after missing Thursday’s game due to continuing issues regarding dryness in his eyes due to his contact lenses. Before the game, Freeman said of the issue, “I’m seeing two balls and I’m just guessing, even when I’m hitting.” He told reporters that he had figured out a solution to the lingering dryness, but it did not seem to help much in the game, as he went 0 for 5 with three strikeouts in the Braves’ 7-4 loss.

	Tim Hudson, #15
	Year-to-date Stats

News
Braves starting pitcher Tim Hudson got off to a slow start on Friday against the Nationals, as he allowed four first-inning runs with two outs, on four hits and a hit batter. He calmed down from there, allowing just two hits in the next five innings and cruising into the seventh inning as his teammates slowly overcame the early deficit. Unfortunately, after getting the first two batters of the seventh inning out, Hudson could not get out of the inning, walking the pitcher Chien-Ming Wang and giving up a double to the next hitter, before intentionally walking Bryce Harper to get to Ryan Zimmerman with the bases loaded. Zimmerman, hitting just .256 on the season, made Hudson pay for that decision, clearing the bases with a double to run the score to 7-3, and chasing Hudson from the game. The Braves would go on to lose, 7-4, earning Hudson his second loss of the season. He finished the game having allowed eight hits and two walks in 6 2/3 innings, while striking out seven, with seven earned runs.

News
With the exception of second baseman Dan Uggla, nobody on the Braves was able to do much offensively on Wednesday, as they fell to the Reds, 2-1. Uggla provided the only run in the game, a solo homer in the fourth inning off Reds’ starter Bronson Arroyo, while going 1 for 3 overall with a walk. It was his sixth long ball of the season, but his first in 12 games.

News
Despite taking a line drive off his left calf on Wednesday, Braves relief pitcher Johnny Venters was back on the mound on Thursday against the Reds. Venters pitched one inning, allowing a leadoff home run to Drew Stubbs. It was the only run he would allow, as he finished his one inning with one hit, one walk and one strikeout, in addition to the run. The Braves would lose the game, 6-3.

News
After going just 3 for 23 (.130) in his last six games, Braves outfielder Michael Bourn showed some life at the plate on Tuesday against the Reds. He went 3 for 4 with two home runs in the 4-3 loss. He led off the game with his second long ball of the season before doubling in his next at-bat. Then in the eighth inning, Bourn launched another solo shot off reliever Logan Ondrusek. It was Bourn's first career multi-homer game.

Injuries
Illness - Probable for May 26 vs. Washington (Updated - 5/25/12)
News
Braves catcher Brian McCann was expected to get one more day off on Friday against the Nationals, his fourth in a row as he was overcoming the effects of the flu. Unfortunately, starting catcher David Ross sustained a right groin injury in his at bat during the second inning and was unable to continue playing, so McCann had to step in and finish the game for him. McCann would go 1 for 3 in the game with a single, as the Braves fell, 7-4.

	Tommy Hanson, #48
	Year-to-date Stats
	W	L	IP	ERA	BB	K

News
Braves starting pitcher Tommy Hanson allowed only one run on four hits on Wednesday in Cincinnati, however he was matched by opposing starter Bronson Arroyo and was let down by his bullpen, as the Braves fell, 2-1, with Hanson earning a no decision. Hanson struck out five in the game and walked two, however the Braves were only able to a single run in the game, costing him a chance to pick up his sixth win of the season in 10 starts. Hanson did lower his ERA to 3.12 with the game.

	Brandon Beachy, #37
	Year-to-date Stats
	W	L	IP	ERA	BB	K
	5	2	61.0	1.77	15	44

News
Braves pitcher Brandon Beachy took his first lost since his season debut on Tuesday night against the Reds. He allowed four runs on six hits over seven innings of work in the 4-3 defeat. Beachy surrendered a two-run homer to Brandon Phillips in the second before Zack Cozart victimized the right-hander for a solo shot in the third. He would give up another home run to Phillips in the fourth for his final damage. Beachy also struck out five and walked one while taking his second loss of the season. “Probably a combination” of the ballpark and mistake pitches, he told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “I’m not going to let the ballpark be an excuse for any of those homers. Other than those three pitches, if those stay singles, I have a game to be proud of.”
