Braves released INF Jack Wilson. Wilson hasn't played in over six weeks due to a dislocated right pinkie finger. He was reportedly aiming to return in September, but now Paul Janish and Tyler Pastornicky will continue to split playing time at shortstop until Andrelton Simmons (finger) is ready to return.

Jack Wilson (finger) is aiming to return from the disabled list on September 1. Wilson recently had a setback with his dislocated right pinkie and is unable to properly grip a bat or a ball. However, he's slated to receive a cortisone shot Sunday and hopes that will allow him to restart his rehab assignment the following weekend.

Braves placed SS Jack Wilson on the 15-day disabled list with a dislocated middle joint on his right pinkie. It's unfortunate timing for the veteran infielder, as he was in line to receive plenty of playing time while Aldrelton Simmons was out. The Braves will now go with Tyler Pastornicky and the newly-acquired Paul Janish at shortstop.

Jack Wilson left Friday's game against the Mets in the fourth inning with an apparent finger injury. Wilson suffered the injury while trying to scramble after a ball in the outfield. The short-handed Braves were forced to use Martin Prado at shortstop while Eric Hinske entered the game to play left field. Look for the Braves to acquire a shortstop prior to Saturday's game.
