It's at times like this that make me glad we have Omar Infante. No, he's not as good as Prado, but I'm not worried that he can't hold the position competently for a week or two.

Hopefully Conrad will be able to get a start or two as well.

Yea to bad Conrad cant play LF almost every at bat hes jacked something deep in the outfield, into the gap, or over the wall this year.

7-10 days, but he has to be put on the 15 day DL, so he'll be out at least 2 weeks.

not necessarily. in one of the articles, it says that Bobby will wait until tomorrow or monday before making a decision on a DL stint for Prado. if he responds well today and tomorrow, he may just be out 7-10 days and ride the pine. if he doesn't respond well, then he'll likely go on the DL and that would concern me the most and hint that it could be more severe than just a fracture.

He will be on the DL to make room for another utility player to be called up. Last night, Bobby used his whole bench, even the sick Gonzalez, so he needs that extra body. The reason I think he is waiting is because they're going home after tomorrow and they can get someone from Gwinnett then. Also, there are no days off for nearly 2 weeks, he really needs that extra body.

I think the Braves would be foolish to rush him back. Prado uses his hands more to hit than anyone else on the team. It's why he is such a great hitter. You don't want to rush him back and then have him change is approach. Give him the proper rest to make sure he is ready for the stretch run. Omar and Conrad can handle 2nd for a couple of weeks.

Update on Prado via Rotowire.com:

The Braves will wait until Monday to make a decision on whether to place Prado on the 15-day DL due to a broken right pinkie finger, the team's official web site reports. Prado is expected to miss at least a week with the injury, but it sounds like the Braves may decide to put him on the DL to give him a full two weeks of rest.
