Travis d’Arnaud has torn ligament in thumb, will undergo surgery

That was pretty quickly confirmed this morning when the Braves immediately put him on the 60 day IL with what was termed a left thumb sprain which, well, you don’t know if its just a minor sprain or something like that.

After the Braves’ loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday, we got some more clarity as to what is going on.

Travis d'Arnaud has a torn thumb ligament, will require surgery. #Braves hope/think they'll have him back at some point late…
