Chipper Jones sprained his ankle yesterday.

The veteran third baseman left a spring training game against the St. Louis Cardinals after spraining his left ankle attempting to run out a ground ball in the first inning at Roger Dean Stadium in Jupiter, Fla.

It was his right foot that caused problems in 2006, with both ankle and foot injuries. Of course, an injured Chipper hits better than most major leaguers, but you have to wonder how many injuries he can sustain and still keep up that level of play.
