Chipper on the DL
Chipper Jones returns to the disabled list:
Jones said he didn't try to talk the team out of placing him on the DL with the oblique injury.
"I didn't have any grounds to fight it," Jones said. "I took four days off and it did feel better but it just wasn't ready. I'm going to need probably the better part of the DL stint to get it completely healed."
Jones also was on the disabled list from April 10 to April 25 with a sprained right ankle and knee, and he also has had to play through problems with his feet for the second straight year.
Jones was a leader in the Braves resurgence. They're 3-4 since his injury.
