"Two days after his collision with right fielder Jason Heyward, center fielder Nate McLouth went on the 15-day disabled list Friday with concussion symptoms, and the Braves planned to recall center fielder Jordan Schafer from Triple-A Gwinnett.

But the plan changed when utility man Omar Infante fouled a ball off his right foot in the fifth inning Friday night. The Braves announced after the game that shortstop Brandon Hicks would be recalled from Gwinnett instead of Schafer, and would arrive in Minneapolis Saturday.

They don't think Infante's foot injury is serious, but even if if it only sidelines him for a day or two the Braves wanted to make sure they had a backup shortstop.

The initial decision to recall Schafer was a surprise, as Braves officials indicated earlier in the week that Schafer needed to get more at-bats at Gwinnett and keep working to regain his timing. Schafer missed much of last season with a wrist fracture that required September surgery."
