Atlanta Braves pitcher, Tommy Hanson, has been diagnosed with a mild concussion after getting into a one-car accident while traveling to the team’s training camp facility in Lake Buena Vista, Florida early Monday morning.
Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Tuesday that Hanson will be forced the first to miss the first two days of spring training, then he will gradually work his way back into a normal routine. If there are no setbacks, they expect that he should be back at full strength within about a week.
Hanson blew out a tire Monday near the Braves’ training camp facility and bumped his head. He was diagnosed with a grade one concussion but has no other injuries after Hanson approached the team training staff to notify them he was not well and was taken to a local hospital for observation and concussion testing.
Hanson will be one of the team’s top starters, after he went 11-7 with a 3.60 ERA last season despite a shoulder injury that limited him to just 22 games.
