Andrelton Simmons' left ankle was in a splint and he was using crutches in the clubhouse on Wednesday.
The Braves indicated after Simmons tweaked the ankle Tuesday that it wasn't serious, but it swelled up after he stopped icing it. Manager Fredi Gonzalez is hopeful the shortstop can avoid the disabled list, but it's clear the injury is worse than expected. At the very least, he'll sit out Wednesday before the off day Thursday.
