Chipper Jones (calf) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Class A Rome.

Jones wanted to avoid a rehab stint, but he was ultimately overruled. He'll play rehab games on Saturday and Sunday on should rejoin the Braves for Monday's series opener against the Yankees.

It will be his first baseball activities since undergoing a surgical procedure in late May to have fluid removed from his left leg.

The Braves will place Chipper Jones (calf) on the disabled list Saturday.

Not surprising, as Jones' calf injury has only gotten worse over the past two days. He appeared as a pinch-hitter on Wednesday, so he won't be eligible to return for two weeks.

The Braves will call up a catcher to replace him on the active roster after David Ross left Friday's game with a groin injury.

David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that Chipper Jones (calf) is "worse today than before."

Jones hasn't played since suffering a left calf contusion when he was smacked in the leg by a line drive off the bat of Rays' outfielder B.J. Upton last Friday. According to O'Brien, the stiffness moved up in his calf after they "milked" the contusion on Wednesday. We're not sure what that means exactly, but it certainly sounds gross. He remains sidelined indefinitely.
