Chipper Jones injures leg in loss

SAN FRANCISCO -- Atlanta's Chipper Jones went down with a sprained right ankle and twisted right knee Sunday when the third baseman charged in on Mike Matheny's slow roller in the eighth inning of the Braves' 6-5 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

Jones appeared to get his spikes caught in the soggy field and grabbed his right knee as soon as he hit the ground, saying later he initially thought he had torn his anterior cruciate ligament. He rolled around on the field in pain, staying down for several minutes before being helped off.

Jones said he had a flashback to when he tore a ligament in his left knee in 1994. He heard a pop in his right knee Sunday. The ankle was still in pain later.

"We just have to wait and see how the pain is the next couple of days," Jones said, wearing a walking air cast on the ankle and no brace on the knee to leave the stadium.
