KJ Day-To-Day With Knee Strain

Written by Jonathan on April 1, 2008 – 7:39 am

Second baseman, Kelly Johnson, left the game after the third inning last night due to a mile strain in his right knee.  This isn’t really anything new for Johnson, as it’s something that he played through for most of last season, but apparently the pain was a little too much last night.

KJ aggravated the injury in the bottom of the third while scoring from first on Yunel Escobar’s triple.  Bobby Cox pulled him from the game, replacing him with Martin Prado, as a precaution to make sure that it didn’t get worse.  We’re at the early point in the season where it just doesn’t make sense to make injuries worse by staying in the game.

Johnson’s currently listed as day-to-day so today’s offday will hopefully be enough to get him back out on the field on Wednesday when we face off against the Pirates in the second game of the series.  More updates as we hear them.
