The Atlanta Braves have placed 3B Chipper Jones on the DL with a strained oblique, the AP is reporting today. He will miss at least two weeks. Of course, compounding this is that the team just dealt Jones' backup Wilson Betemit to the Dodgers, so it will be Willie Aybar (acquired in that deal from L.A.) who gets the starting nod for the Dodgers. Reactions?

Too bad, the Chipster is hitting .333 and having a great year of sort...hope he gets back...the Braves need his bat.
