Kelly Johnson leaves game with oblique strain; Placed on 15-day DL

He left the game in the first-inning, unable to complete his at-bat. Johnson currently leads the Braves in home-runs with six and is tied with teammate Freddie Freeman in RBI at 18. He will be re-evaluated Thursday. If he does miss time, it will be a blow because Johnson can play at multiple positions and has been an integral part of the offensive strategy so far.
