 | Friday, August 25th, 2017: Braves Lose Tim Brown
Tim Brown at first refused to leave today's Arizona-Atlanta game after he suffered a strained anterior cruciate ligament while running the bases. But his manager convinced him not to be foolish. "I'm a competitor," the feisty Atlanta first baseman said. "I'll play through just about anything." Given time to reflect on the situation, he knew it was in his best interest to get immediate treatment. The injury is expected to keep Brown out of action for 5 weeks.
This year Brown has hit 2 home runs and posted a .233 batting average.
