Chipper Jones to miss rest of softball season with strained oblique

Chipper is now sidelined for both of his teams.

ATLANTA, GA — Chipper Jones, already on the DL for the Braves, strained his oblique in his second at-bat in Tuesday’s softball game and will miss the rest of the softball season.

“I felt a little twinge during my second at-bat,” Jones said. “I knew right away that my season would probably be over. It’s just heartbreaking.”

Jones was 0-for-2 with two groundouts Tuesday, and ends the season hitting .309 with one homer and seven RBI. James “Bubba” McDowell, the team’s former left-centerfielder, will again resume starting.

“I guess it’s a case of ‘one man gathers what another man spills,’” McDowell said. “I’m definitely glad to be in the lineup. To be honest, I wasn’t even all that worried when Chipper took over for me, because he’s always pulling something or straining something else. Guy can’t stay healthy. I’m so fat that I don’t even have an oblique, so it’s not a problem.”

Jones says that by sitting out the rest of the season, he hopes he’ll be ready for fall league.
