Braves third baseman Chipper Jones has a small meniscus tear in his right knee.
The injury was discovered on Sunday after he was scratched from the lineup of a game against the Phillies.
Jones received an injection in his right knee and hopes to avoid surgery. However, if the pain hasn't subsided in a few days he could be facing arthroscopic surgery.
"We'll know in a couple days," Jones said. "If the shot helps then I'll play as long as I can. If the shot doesn't help then they'll go in and clean it up."
