The Mississippi Braves today placed Jordan Schafer on the 7 day DL with a left hand injury.
After opening last season as the everyday Center Fielder Schafer’s career has spiraled downward. He struggled to bounce back from a from a fracture in his hand hitting .201 for Triple A Gwinnett this season. After struggling seemingly the whole season, Schafer was demoted to Double A Mississippi where he was currently hitting .226 before being placed on the DL.
It has been a lost season for one of the Braves former top draft picks. At this point you have to question if he is even in the Braves long term plans anymore. Hopefully Schafer can use the time on the DL to get his hand right and can try and salvage something out of this season.
