Martin Prado broke his knuckle:

Prado jammed the hand while sliding hard into home plate Friday night during the 10th inning of a 6-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds. X-rays initially were inconclusive.

Prado is expected to be sidelined for a week to 10 days. Manager Bobby Cox said the team will take a day or two before deciding whether to put him on the 15-day disabled list.

That hurts the Braves. Prado was not only hitting for average, but for power as well. The good news is that Omar Infante learned how to get on base once he joined the Braves, so they should lose anything in terms of extra outs from the leadoff spot.
