MLB Update: Chipper Jones Could Be Done For Season

"Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones
reportedly has a torn ACL in his left knee.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution quoted Jones' agent as saying an MRI exam
revealed the severity of the injury. The paper also said Jones might seek a
second opinion.

Jones was hurt in the sixth inning of Tuesday's game against Houston while
making a spectacular defensive play. Hunter Pence hit a chopper down the line
that was fielded by Jones, whose momentum carried him into foul territory. He
threw across his body and appeared to land awkwardly on his left leg.

After remaining on the ground for a few moments, he limped off the field and
was initially diagnosed with a sprain.

If surgery is necessary, it could also be a career-ending injury for Jones,
who tore the same ACL in 1994. The 38-year-old veteran has hinted at
retirement, as reports earlier this year indicated that the six-time All-Star
spoke with Braves brass about calling it quits following the 2010 campaign."
