Braves' Freddie Freeman set for MRI, CT scan after being hit by pitch on wrist

The Atlanta first baseman was forced to leave Wednesday night's game against the Blue Jays

The Braves won a rather tense and combative game against the Blue Jays on Wednesday night (ATL 8, TOR 4), but they may have suffered a far more significant loss. Here's a look ... 

As you can see, hard-hitting first baseman Freddie Freeman was forced to leave the game after being hit on the left wrist by a pitch from Aaron Loup. And here's the update ... 

Tests on #Braves' Freeman's wrist inconclusive, will have MRI and CT scan Thursday.

The X-rays didn't suffice, so more testing for Freeman. That's not yet bad news, but it's also not good news. Speaking of which ... 

While the Braves are holding out hope regarding Freeman, the mood in the clubhouse wouldn't have been described as optimistic

This would of course be a huge blow to the Braves, if Freeman is lost for any significant amount of time. The 27-year-old slugger this season is batting .341/.461/.748 and leading the majors with 14 home runs. If healthy, he may be on the way to the NL MVP Award. Now, though, we don't know if Freeman is healthy.
