Ex-Buc Wilson suffers injury

ATLANTA — Jack Wilson left the Atlanta Braves’ game against the New York Mets on Friday night with a dislocated finger, forcing Martin Prado to play shortstop for the first time in four years.

Wilson is the second Braves shortstop to injure his right little finger this week.

The Braves said Wilson dislocated the middle joint of the right little finger and X-rays were negative. His status will be updated Saturday.

Wilson started at shortstop as the Braves waited to replace rookie Andrelton Simmons, who will miss at least one month after breaking a finger.
