Kelly Johnson to the DL
Posted by Stephen Williams on July 3rd, 2009
Maybe this explains why he has been so bad recently. From Mark Bowman of MLB.com:
“Kelly Johnson will have to wait until after the All-Star break to attempt to regain regular playing time. The Braves placed the second baseman on the 15-day disabled list on Friday because of right wrist tendinitis.”
If Martin Prado continues to play near the level he is right now, Kelly Johnson may not even have a shot to regain that second base job.
Brooks Conrad was called up from Gwinnett to take Johnson’s spot.
