| Breaking News |  | Thursday, September 26th, 2019: Atlanta Left Fielder Hurt
"I'm frustrated right now," said Atlanta left fielder Orlando Sele. "I can't help this team by sitting on the bench or in the training room." Unfortunately for the Braves, that's where he will be spending the next 2 weeks. Sele suffered a strained abdominal muscle into today's game against Baltimore while running the bases. "Believe me," he said, "I won't be out a day longer than I have to be."
This season Sele is batting .300 with 12 home runs and 85 RBIs. In 136 games he has scored 57 times.
