"The last two days it went from jogging [and] I didn't think I could run much more than that to the next day being able to run," he explains to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Johnson dealt with pain in the knee last year, too. He will not need surgery but will have to treat it regularly. |

| April 3, 2008 Kelly Johnson is growing frustrated by pain in his right knee that won't go away. He's missed the past two games with the ailment and admitted that he's had discomfort in the knee for more than a year, according to MLB.com. Johnson hopes to avoid the DL but concedes that it is a possibility. "I don't want to [go on the disabled list]," Johnson said. "I'd love to completely avoid it. But you'd rather miss a handful of games now instead of constantly missing games here and there throughout season. Maybe the answer is rest. But I had a lot of rest when the [2007] season ended." Johnson had an MRI on the knee in January and again on Tuesday. Both times no structural damage was found, but the second baseman says the pain "feels like a knife in my knee." Manager Bobby Cox indicated that he might be able to put Johnson back in the lineup Friday, otherwise he'll once again go with Martin Prado. |
| April 2, 2008 Kelly Johnson was forced to miss the Braves game on Wednesday because of a strained right knee, though feels he will miss little time and be back in the lineup soon, a sentiment echoed by manager Booby Cox, this according to MLB.com. "We'll give him a day off and see if we can get it to calm down." Martin Prado will likely start in Johnson's absence, though it sounds like he won't miss too much time. |
| March 31, 2008 Kelly Johnson left Monday night's game against the Pirates after aggravating a right knee strain. Johnson was nursing the same knee in the last week of spring training. Johnson exited at the beginning of the fourth inning, and Martin Prado replaced him at second base. The Braves announced his status as day-to-day. Before exiting, Johnson singled and scored during a three-run third inning. |
| March 24, 2008 Kelly Johnson was held out of the Braves lineup on Monday, this according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Backup infielder Martin Prado started at second base again today in place of Johnson, who has a slightly sore knee from playing so much on the hard fields of Florida Im just resting Kelly, Cox said. Hes played a ton. Too much, really. Johnson's ailment isn't considered serious and he will be the opening day starter barring something radical. |
| March 22, 2008 Chipper Jones drove in Atlanta's only run when he doubled down the left-field line to drive in Kelly Johnson in the sixth inning. Johnson was 1-for-3 on the day and is hitting .217 on the spring. The Braves second baseman continues to look more comfortable at the plate with each passing work day and with opening day approaching, his timing couldn't be better. |
| March 20, 2008 Kelly Johnson had another tough day at the plate against the Astros on Wednesday as he went 0-for-3 with one strikeout. His average dipped to .237 and the Braves' have to be displeased with their starting second baseman's production so far this spring. |
| February 26, 2008 Kelly Johnson will hit leadoff during the Braves game against the University of Georgia Wednesday, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Johnson is battling Yunel Escobar, who will hit second Wednesday, for the leadoff job. Manager Bobby Cox remains uncertain if he will choose one as his regular leadoff option or if the two will split the work in a platoon, as Johnson's a left-handed hitter and Escobar a right-handed swinger. |
| February 17, 2008 Kelly Johnson is feeling much more comfortable in camp this year, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. Last February, he was saddled with learning a new position and was coming off a lost season. Johnson's numbers trailed off late in 2007, but he deserves a lot of credit for overcoming injuries and making a transition to the middle infield. If he bats at the top of the order again, Johnson could improve on his digits in 2008. |
