08/13/2010 - Atlanta, GA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Atlanta Braves recalled third baseman Brandon Hicks from Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday.

Hicks will fill the roster spot of the injured Chipper Jones, who was officially placed on the 15-day disabled list a day after an MRI revealed a torn ACL in his left knee that will require season-ending surgery.

Hicks is 0-for-5 with five runs scored in 13 at-bats for the Braves this season. In 75 games for Gwinnett this year, he batted just .216 with 10 stolen bases, seven homers and 22 RBI.
