Chipper Jones had an MRI, but begin

ATLANTA - Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones had an MRI on his right knee Tuesday, but was in a possible series-clinching game against the Philadelphia Phillies sick.

Jones had his knee checked before arriving at Turner Field. MRI showed an accumulation of fluid and bone rubs against bone, causing all the pain.

No structural damage, although Jones and even leaving the area.

"We are worried the next year next year," he said. "The fact of the matter is that the pain does not go too far."

Porter coach Jeff Jones asked how long it would take to overcome the pain and I was told: "You will begin to feel better about Thanksgiving."

The Braves had a struggle of one of the major parties in the NL wild card with two games remaining in the regular season. Despite a decline in September that killed most of home advantage as they could get a second consecutive trip to the playoffs with a win over the Phillies defeat the Cardinals, who played Tuesday night in Houston.

Jones was one of the best hitters in the Braves last month, reaching 0.307 (37 of 118) with eight homers and 15 RBIs in 33 games in his past. It was played in Atlanta for an early lead in the game Monday night with his 18-circuit and later reached a basic rule double. However, a game hit double play ended the eighth inning tie with a potential run on base.

The Braves took their third consecutive loss, 4-2, but remained at the top wild card when the Cardinals lost in 10 ends in Houston 5-4.

The manager Fredi Gonzalez said he had a bit of Jones run late in the game or a defensive replacement if Atlanta is the main culprit. The third baseman was particularly difficult to push the wheel left.

But at least go against Roy Oswalt in Philadelphia should relieve pain. The switch-hitting Jones against the lefty, who has beaten some pressure on the knee.

"It is broken, but it's there," said Gonzalez. "He wants to be in. It's not in this series and I did not expect. We will adapt the game goes on."

The director asked whether Jones would play a similar injury in June

"No," Gonzalez said quickly. "But in June than in September."
