| Player Notes |
| September 30, 2006 Chipper Jones did not start Saturday's game as his left oblique injury keeps him out against left-handers and Houston started Andy Pettitte. He did appear as a pinch-hitter in the eighth and flew out to right. |
| September 27, 2006 Chipper Jones was able to start Wednesday as the Mets were using a right-handed starter (Pedro Martinez), the AP reports. Jones is battling an oblique problem and feels the most pain these days when he tries to bat from the right side. He went 2-for-4 with a homer Wednesday. |
| September 26, 2006 Chipper Jones was held out of the starting lineup on Tuesday due to ongoing injury concerns, according to the AP. Jones has been able to swing from the left side without discomfort, but he still has trouble right-handed due to a sore left oblique. He also has a sore toe on his right foot. |
| September 22, 2006 Chipper Jones was out of the starting lineup for a second straight night Friday because of a sore toe, according to the AP. "I'd like to rest him again on Saturday," manager Bobby Cox said. |
| September 22, 2006 Chipper Jones missed his second straight game Thursday due to a sore toe, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. He's still considered day-to-day. Jones has chronic problems with both feet, which he has been told are the result of bunions. |
| September 21, 2006 Chipper Jones sat out Wednesday night's game with soreness in in his toes on his right foot, according to the AP. Jone is considered day-to-day. |
| September 20, 2006 Chipper Jones left Wednesday night's game with soreness in the second toe on his right foot, according to the AP. Jones returned from the disabled list Tuesday after missing more than two weeks with a strained muscle on his left side. He was 1-for-2 with a double and two runs scored on Wednesday before being lifted in the seventh inning. Jones is day-to-day. |
| September 19, 2006 The Braves activated Chipper Jones from the disabled list. Jones started at third base and batted third on Tuesday, going 1-for-3. |
| September 18, 2006 Chipper Jones could be back as soon as Tuesday, the first day he is eligible to return from the DL, according to the AP. Jones hasn't played since straining the oblique muscle on his left side on Sept. 3. "I'll see how he does tonight" in batting practice, Cox said. "He's not going to be 100 percent, but hopefully he can get as close to there as possible." |
| September 15, 2006 The Braves placed Chipper Jones on the 15-day DL Thursday due to a strained oblique. Teams rarely make DL moves this late in the season, but the move was made so their insurance company would pay a portion of his $13.6 million salary. The move is retroactive to September 4, so itÂ’s possible that Chipper will return on Tuesday. |
| September 14, 2006 Chipper Jones, out since September 3rd with a strained oblique, still has pain in his side when he swings right-handed, according to the AP. Even with the setback, Jones still hopes to return to the lineup next week. |
| September 12, 2006 Chipper Jones felt fine after some hard swings in batting practice Monday and said that he hopes to be back in the lineup later this week, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Jones has been out since Sept. 3 because of a strained oblique muscle. |
| September 9, 2006 Chipper Jones, who is dealing with a strained left oblique, took light infield practice and a few tentative left-handed swings in the cage Saturday, according to the AP. "I didn't really stretch it out," he said. "I was kind of afraid to. I just wanted to get out here and see something coming at me and swing a bat, exercise a little bit. I threw across the infield fine. As long as I didn't overextend myself, I was fine." Chipper may not return until late next week, and it's possible that he won't return at all this year. |
| September 9, 2006 Chipper Jones said he doesn't expect to return from his aggravated left oblique until at least late in the Braves' homestand, which runs through next Sunday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "I definitely want to play," he said. "But I have to be pain-free to get back in there. I can't swing from either side this time. It's definitely worse than before." Clearly, there's a good chance that he won't play again this season. |
| September 5, 2006 Chipper Jones has said that his reinjured left oblique muscle is worse this time than when he strained it five weeks ago and went on the DL, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "It took nine or 10 days [to recover enough to play] last time," Jones said. "Hopefully it doesn't take that long, but like I said, it felt worse" Sunday when he reinjured it. Jones said that if the Braves make a playoff push he hopes he can return in about a week, even if it is just in a pinch-hitting role. Willy Aybar will fill in while Jones is out. |
| September 3, 2006 Chipper Jones will probably miss a three-game series against the Mets because of a sore left oblique, according to the AP. Jones was on the DL with the same injury earlier this year. Willy Aybar will likely start at third with Jones out. |
| September 3, 2006 Chipper Jones was a late scratch from Sunday's lineup because of a sore oblique muscle on his left side, according to the AP. Jones was on the disabled list last month with the same injury. The severity of Jones' injury isn't known at this time. |
| August 14, 2006 In just his second game off the disabled list, Chipper Jones belted three home runs. Chipper was red hot right before he went on the DL, and the time away apparently didn't cool him off. |
| August 13, 2006 As expected, the Braves activated Chipper Jones from the DL Sunday, according to the AP. Jones has been out since July 28 with a strained left oblique muscle injury. Jones takes the roster spot of Willy Aybar, who was placed on the DL with a broken hand. "I feel better," Jones said Sunday. "I'm not going to say I don't feel it when I swing and miss. It's not excruciating." Jones only took swings from the left side on his rehab assignment, so it remains to be seen how he'll hold up against left-handed pitching. "That remains a mystery," he said. |
| August 12, 2006 Chipper Jones is on track to return to the Braves lineup Sunday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He played for Double-A Mississippi Friday and will do so again today before rejoing the Braves tomorrow for the series finale against the Brewers. Jones is recovering from a strained left oblique. |
| August 12, 2006 Chipper Jones played third base and was 0-for-4 in the first game of his rehab assignment with Double-A Mississippi. Jones is eligible to come off the DL on Sunday. |
| August 9, 2006 Chipper Jones, on the DL with a strained left oblique, is set to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Mississippi on Friday, according to the AP. Jones has refused to say how much improvement he would have to see before returning on Sunday, the first day he's eligible to be activated. |
| August 8, 2006 Chipper Jones is scheduled to go on a rehab assignment at Double-A Mississippi this weekend in an effort to be healthy enough to be activated on Sunday, according to the AP. Jones is out of action with a strained left oblique. |
| August 8, 2006 Chipper Jones could be activated from the DL Sunday, the first day he is eligible to return, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Jones took batting practice Monday for the first time in 10 days and said the strained oblique muscle in his left side held up just fine. Jones will go out on a rehab soon, though the team does not yet know when or where. "Nothing can simulate a game swing, so I figure I better go try it out," said Jones. |
| August 7, 2006 Chipper Jones took batting practice from the left side Monday for the first time since going on the DL, according to the AP. He has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 29 with a strained muscle on his left side. Jones is eligible to be activated Sunday, but it is not known whether or not the Braves plan to activate him at that time. |
| August 6, 2006 Chipper Jones hopes to take some swings on Sunday, though trainer Jeff Porter said he wants (to see how he does fielding and throwing first," according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. He's on the disabled list with a strained left oblique and is eligible to be activated next Sunday. "It's a lot better," Jones said. "I'm just waiting for the OK to start swinging." |
| July 29, 2006 Chipper Jones is headed to the disabled list with a strained side muscle, according to ESPN.com. He aggravated the injury during Friday night's game. "It's going to take some rest," manager Bobby Cox said. |
| July 27, 2006 Chipper Jones, who was out of the lineup Thursday with a strained side muscle, is expected to play at least the first two games of a weekend series against the Mets, according to the AP. Jones said he's planning to play all three games "unless I have some sort of setback between now and Sunday." |
| July 27, 2006 The reason that Chipper Jones got the day off today was because his strained side muscle bothers him more when he swings from the right side, and the Braves were facing lefty Scott Olsen, according to the official team website. Jones said that he should be back in the lineup on Friday and should be able to play against southpaw Tom Glavine on Sunday as well. |
| July 27, 2006 Not wanting to aggravate a strained side muscle, Chipper Jones rested Thursday after playing the previous night for the first time in four games, according to the AP. Wilson Betemit started at third in Jones' absence. |
| July 26, 2006 Chipper Jones returned to the lineup Wednesday after missing three straight games with a strained side muscle, according to the AP. Jones was 0-for-3 at the plate, ending his 20-game hitting streak. |
| July 26, 2006 Chipper Jones missed his third consecutive game Tuesday and will likely be out again Wednesday because of a strained left oblique, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Jones tested the injury by taking batting practice Tuesday, but it doesn't seem like he feels good enough to get back in the lineup just yet. Wilson Betemit has been filling in for Jones at third. |
| July 25, 2006 Chipper Jones missed his third consecutive game Tuesday against the Marlins with a sore left oblique, according to the AP. However, he could be available as a pinch-hitter. "My concern is not so much swinging as it is fielding and throwing," Chipper Jones said. "That's where it bugs me." |
| July 25, 2006 The Braves are hopeful that Chipper Jones will be ready to play in this weekend's series against the Mets, according to the official team website. Jones has missed the last two games with a sore left oblique and will likely miss the entire mid-week series against the Marlins. |
| July 24, 2006 Chipper Jones missed another start on Monday because of his sore left oblique, according to the AP. Though the Braves are hoping that Jones will return within the next several days, oblique injuries are often nagging and cause trips to the DL. |
| July 24, 2006 Braves manager Bobby Cox said that Chipper Jones probably won't be ready to return from his oblique injury tonight, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. "We'll give it a few days and see how it heals." Cox said. |
| July 23, 2006 Chipper Jones could miss the rest of the series against the Phillies, according to the Atlanta Constitution-Journal. He strained his left oblique on Friday. |
| July 23, 2006 Chipper Jones is questionable for Sunday's game with a sore left side, according to the Braves website. Jones felt discomfort while taking a big swing in the first inning of Friday's game, but he remained in the game. The ailment prevented himer from reaching outside pitches and hindered him while throwing. "I was concerned last night (Friday)," Chipper said. "I think it will be better in a day or two." |
| July 10, 2006 Following Sunday's game, Chipper Jones received a cortisone injection to help his ailing right foot heal during the All-Star break, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Jones had been playing well after missing three games due to the injury, but it became sore on Sunday. |
| July 5, 2006 Chipper Jones returned to the Braves lineup on Wednesday, according to the AP. Jones visited with Dr. John Gleason, an Atlanta foot specialist, on Wednesday afternoon and he found inflammation but no tear in plantar plate of Jones' right second toe. |
| July 4, 2006 The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that the MRI on Chipper Jones revealed a partial tear of the plantar plate in his right foot and a strained medial collateral ligament. Jones will be available to pinch-hit tonight but will meet with a foot specialist on Wednesday. "They think it's best if we take another day, or two if needed, and calm it back down," said Jones. "With the pounding of being out there for nine innings, we could have a setback." |
| July 3, 2006 Chipper Jones said his right foot felt better, but he still didn't know the extent of his injury, according to the AP. He was held out of the lineup for the second straight game, and the Braves are taking a cautious approach after he missed 37 games last year with a strained ligament in his left foot. Jones was still waiting for team physician Marvin Royster to read the MRI taken earlier Monday. |
| July 2, 2006 The official Braves website reports that Chipper Jones is experiencing some of the same discomfort in his foot that caused him to go on the disabled list for six weeks last season. Jones will visit a foot specialist on Monday and have X-rays taken. |

| June 17, 2006 Chipper Jones had a sore right thumb and felt ill before Saturday's game so he was scratched from the starting lineup, according to the AP. He was replaced by Wilson Betamit. Jones did hit some in the cage and was available to pinch hit if necessary. |

"The one I have right now hurts more to wear than when I'm not wearing it," he said. |

| April 16, 2006 Batting right-handed, Chipper Jones tested his sprained ankle and knee by taking some soft-toss swings yesterday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Jones added that he'll probably wear a brace for most of the season once he returns, which should be April 25 or soon after. |
| April 15, 2006 Chipper Jones said his sprained ankle is no longer a problem, but his sprained knee remains tender, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

| April 10, 2006 The Braves placed Chipper Jones on the 15-day disabled list on Monday because of his sprained ankle and knee. An MRI showed that the injuries were not serious, but the Braves made the move, anyway. "Our doctors say this is an injury that will heal itself," general manager John Schuerholz told the AP. "It just takes time. It may not take quite as much time as 15 days, but we want to make absolutely certain that he's completely healthy before he returns, so we're putting him on the disabled list." |
| April 10, 2006 The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that Chipper Jones is expected to miss at least a few days due to the sprained ankle and twisted knee he sustained Sunday, but the injuries don't appear to be serious.

He'll be further examined today, though he's not expected to need an MRI. |
| April 9, 2006 The Braves are expected to re-examine the right knee and ankle of Chipper Jones on Wednesday, according to the AP.
