ATLANTA (AP) The Atlanta Braves are awaiting word on tests that will determine the severity of Freddie Freeman’s injury after he was struck in the left wrist by a pitch.
The slugging first baseman was plunked by Toronto’s Aaron Loup during the fifth inning of an 8-4 victory over the Blue Jays on Wednesday night.
X-rays taken at SunTrust Park were inconclusive, so Freeman was to undergo an MRI and other tests on Thursday. A team spokesman said it could be late afternoon before the results are known.
The Braves were clearly concerned about Freeman’s condition after the game.
