Chicago ? Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones is going on the 15-day disabled list with a bruised right hand.

Manager Bobby Cox said the team would place Jones on the disabled list today. He has been experiencing pain in both hands since a base-running collision on May 11 and had missed seven straight games before the Braves opened a weekend series against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Jones received a cortisone shot following the game on May 23 but noticed no improvement.

“I don’t think it’s gotten any better at all,” he said. “It was getting worse when I was playing. It hasn’t gotten much better since.”

Jones, who is batting .300 with 12 homers and 27 RBIs, said the pain has spread from the base of his thumbs into both palms and wrists.
