NEW YORK (AP) — Dansby Swanson has a partially torn ligament in his left hand and it’s unclear if he will be available in the postseason for the NL East champions.Swanson traveled from New York to Atlanta on Wednesday to get his wrist and hand examined by team doctors. He will undergo treatment while missing the rest of the regular season http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/aaron-donald-jersey , which ends Sunday.The Braves said Swanson will be re-evaluated next week before they open the best-of-five NL Division Series on Oct. 4.Swanson exited Tuesday night’s 7-3 win over the New York Mets for tests.“He swung the bat and something didn’t feel right,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. “Which is why he’d alarmed me a little bit. He’d been feeling fine, hadn’t been complaining about it.”“A lot of times the player gets checked out and is reassured it’s nothing really bad,” Snitker said. “That relieves a lot of their worries also. But it’s your hand. That’s a big deal in this game. We’ll just have to wait and see.”Swanson was on the disabled list in May and missed 13 games with left wrist inflammation.The 24-year-old Swanson is batting .238 with 14 home runs and 59 RBIs in 136 games this season. He is considered a candidate to be a Gold Glove finalist.Swanson was mired in an 8-for-53 (.171) slump over his last 17 games since Sept. 5.Utilityman Charlie Culberson replaced Swanson on Tuesday and started at shortstop Wednesday against the Mets.Swanson left New York on Wednesday morning, but his departure was delayed because of congestion near Atlanta’s Manhattan hotel due to the United Nations General Assembly.Swanson was the overall No. 1 draft pick by Arizona in 2015. Scott Taetsch/Getty ImagesBaltimore Orioles center fielder Adam Jones explained Tuesday that he simply exercised the rights afforded to him by Major League Baseball's collective bargaining agreement when he vetoed a possible move to the Philadelphia Phillies in advance of Tuesday's non-waiver trade deadline."When players walked out years ago and walked the picket lines and stuff, they did that for reasons like this http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/todd-gurley-ii-jersey ," Jones said, according to the Baltimore Sun's Eduardo A. Encina. "I earned this and it's my decision. I don't have to explain it to nobody. It's my decision. Thank you."Jones' comments come two days after Fancred's Jon Heyman reported Jones had "given the impression" he wanted to stay in Baltimore to see out the remainder of his contract, which is set to expire at season's end.The 33-year-old was afforded the right to make that call after he earned 10-and-5 rights, which are given to players who have racked up at least 10 years of MLB experience, including the last five straight with the same team."I made the decision, you all didn't http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/cooper-kupp-jersey ," Jones added after Baltimore's 6-3 loss to the New York Yankees. "This is my decision, this is my life. I'm not going around dictating other people's lives. So why do they do that with us? No one is going to tell me what to do. I earned every single bit of it. People before me fought vigorously, tirelessly to get rights like this. And I can invoke them."Had Jones approved a move to Philadelphia, he could have provided a welcome veteran presence in a promising outfield that includes Odubel Herrera, Rhys Hoskins and Nick Williams.However, a move down I-95 didn't suit Jones. As a result http://www.losangelesramsteamonline.com/jared-goff-jersey , his playing time is likely to dwindle down the stretch as the Orioles budget more playing time for young contributors with a full-scale rebuild in mind."I see what they're talking about when they're talking about us with a rebuild and fire sale," Jones said. "We got rid of some guys that are making substantial money and are probably gonna make substantial money next year. That's [proof] they're going in a different direction."The 33-year-old鈥攚ho entered Tuesday batting .285 with 11 home runs and 44 RBI鈥攚ill be an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
