Braves P Bennett Lands On DL

Posted: 6:54 pm EDT June 25, 2009

(Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves placed pitcher Jeff Bennett on the 15-day disabled list Thursday with a broken left hand and recalled pitcher Boone Logan from Triple-A Gwinnett.

Bennett sustained the injury after punching a door in frustration after surrendering a go-ahead, two-out, two-run single to the Yankees' Alex Rodriguez during the sixth inning of Wednesday's 8-4 loss.

Dr. Gary Lourie placed pins in Bennett's hand on Thursday morning and the right-hander is expected to be sidelined at least three weeks.

Bennett is 2-4 with a 3.18 earned-run average in 33 appearances for the Braves this season.
