Braves P Hanson has mild concussion after wreck

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP)—Atlanta Braves pitcher Tommy Hanson has been
diagnosed with a mild concussion after wrecking on his way to spring training.

Manager Fredi Gonzalez said Tuesday that Hanson will miss the first two days
of spring training, then gradually work his way back into a normal routine. If
there are no setbacks, he should be back at full strength within a week.

Hanson blew out a tire Monday near the Braves’ Disney World complex and may
have bumped his head on either the windshield or the steering wheel. The
right-hander was diagnosed with a grade one concussion but apparently has no
other injuries.

Hanson is expected to be one of the team’s top starters, going 11-7 with a
3.60 ERA last season despite a shoulder injury.
