No, Frank Thomas is not headed to the Braves, there's just a ton of pain in Atlanta tonight. Mariners starter Erik Bedard left in the 4th with back spasms. Braves third baseman Chipper Jones left in the 8th with a strained right quadriceps. Braves shortstop Yunel Escobar left in the 9th with a strained right hip.
Not only did these players feel the pain, but Jones and Braves starter Jorge Campillo's statlines are also suffering. Jones went 0-2, dropping his batting average down to .390. I'm guessing he doesn't go back over .400 again this year. Campillo gave up three runs in the 7th as his ERA climbed from 2.17 to 2.54. He takes the loss, falling to 2-2.
Fantasy Impact: Jones said the injury was "pretty bad" in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The same article said Escobar doesn't know if he can play anymore in the series. Bedard is questionable for his next start. What a mess, especially for Seattle, which hasn't had any good news since acquiring Bedard in the offseason.
