Camargo needs DL stint to prep for season

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Braves manager Brian Snitker confirmed Wednesday night that third baseman Johan Camargo will not have enough time to prepare himself for the start of the regular season.

The Braves have not yet officially placed Camargo on the 10-day disabled list, but after a 3-2 win over the Tigers, Snitker said the third baseman will most likely miss the first week of the regular season while recovering from the back and right side discomfort that developed last week.
