"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Braves right fielder Jason Heyward exited with an apparent thumb injury in the eighth inning of Wednesday's win over the Nationals.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bowman added that X-rays on his thumb were negative.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 25-year-old was pinch-hit for in the eighth inning in a two-run game the Braves ended up winning. He had made an early exit in a game in July due to lower back soreness but it's not immediately clear the extent of the thumb injury on Wednesday and whether it will cause him to miss time.&amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Good chance that Heyward's thumb started to swell over the past few innings.\r\n\u2014 Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) September 18, 2014\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;X-rays on Heyward's left thumb were negative. But he knows that thumb ailments can prove to be a lingering problem. #Braves\r\n\u2014 Mark Bowman (@mlbbowman) September 18, 2014\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022 &lt;strong&gt;Brewers plan to exercise their part of mutual $14M&amp;nbsp;option on Aramis Ramirez&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em &gt;- Marc Weinreich&lt;/em&gt;\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
