Andrelton Simmons Scratched With Wrist Injury

The Braves have announced that Andrelton Simmons will be scratched from tonight’s game with an apparent wrist injury.

Ramiro Pena has been announced as starting in his place, batting 8th.  On top of the routine defensive theatrics Simmons displays on the field, Simmons has been one of the more consistent cog’s in the Braves inconsistent offensive output, slashing .321/.323/.357 through the first 8 games.

Hopefully this isn’t too serious and that we can expect Simba to be back in the lineup in time for this weekends home series against the Nationals.
