Fans react: Dansby Swanson pulled from Gwinnett game after Camargo injury
As he ran out onto the field at SunTrust Park on Tuesday evening, shortstop Johan Camargo lost his balance and collapsed.
In what is being called “a freak injury”, Camargo stayed on the ground until Braves coaches could help carry him off the field.
The Braves announced Camargo hyper-extended his right knee and an MRI was scheduled for Tuesday night.
"That is unbelievable." A freak accident forces the @Braves to take Johan Camargo out of the game before the 1st pitch. Stay tuned for more. pic.twitter.com/vq7chWx7VV

Meanwhile in Gwinnett, infielder Dansby Swanson was pulled from the G-Braves game against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders in the third inning. Swanson is expected to be recalled to Atlanta in Camargo’s absence.
Swanson was optioned to Gwinnett on July 26.
Here’s what fans had to say about Swanson’s probable return to Atlanta:
apparently the ghost of Dansby Swanson just murdered Camargo

Hate to see Camargo go down with injury, but it's time for the return. @LieutenantDans7

This was not how anyone envisioned Dansby returning to the big club. Hope he saw some sliders while in Gwinnett #Braves https://t.co/oKMh9gPKkL

Ok I know I wanted Dansby back but not because Camago got injured!

If Dansby comes up, they are better off with nobody out there
