Ahhh, another case of bizarre baseball injuries–this time the culprit is none other than red bull. I kid you not.
As hot as the Braves are they’d hate to lose Avilan for any amount of time after he went down Tuesday with a strained hamstring and cramp. The exact source of the injury though is a bit perplexing…
Braves beat writer David O’Brien clues us in on the matter on twitter:
#Braves Avilan said he'll stick with water and Powerade instead of his usual pregame Red Bull, which might have contributed to cramping.

Let’s just do the obvious and add this to the interminable list of bizarre baseball injuries.
