Chipper won't need offseason surgery: There will be no offseason shoulder surgery for Chipper Jones. The Braves said Wednesday that the MRI on Jones' right shoulder a day earlier showed acute tendinitis, but the overall structure is normal. The Braves' orthopedist has prescribed therapy for the 36-year-old third baseman, followed by a strength program.

Injury Report

Shoulder - Expected to be ready for spring training
(Updated - 10/1/08)

Fantasy Analysis

Jones won the NL batting title with a .364 average. He had 22 home runs and 75 RBI but played in only 128 games and was limited to pinch-hitting in the final week of the season. His injury risk is high, especially on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis, so we rank him merely seventh among third basemen in our initial 2009 rankings. If he could ever play a full season (uh, forget it), he could be a top 20 Fantasy performer.
