Chipper Jones had a procedure over the weekend to remove fluid from his left leg.
Jones, currently on the disabled list with a contusion, said he had 120 ccs drained from what he describes as a hematoma.
"I feel so much better now," he said. "It was throbbing. It let me know with everything that I did. Now, we've relieved a lot of the pressure down there and I can't feel my heartbeat [in the ankle] anymore."
Jones said he was told my doctors that had he not had the surgical procedure he would have been dealing with the issue into September.
