Three more Braves head to disabled list

The Braves had to disable three players following Sunday's marathon win over the Astros.

Both Manny Acosta and Omar Infante strained their hamstrings during Sunday's game — Acosta running the bases in the 16th inning and Infante running the bases in the second inning, which aggravated an old hamstring injury.

Also headed to the disabled list was reliever Jeff Bennett, who injured his right shoulder making a throw to first in the game Saturday night. Bennett subluxed his shoulder, manager Bobby Cox said, having it pop out of joint and pop back in.

"It's sore," Cox said.

The Braves will call on reinforcements from Class AAA Richmond to meet the team in L.A. but who they will call hadn't been determined immediately after the game.

"Who's coming — yourguess is as good as mine right now," Cox said. "It'll be two pitchers and a position player."
