<p>TAMPA, Fla. -- A pair of bruised fingers forced Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Ryan Doumit to exit Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Yankees, but the club is hopeful that neither injury is serious.</p><p>Doumit left in the second inning after taking a foul tip off his bare right hand. The club diagnosed Doumit with a right middle finger bruise, and precautionary X-rays came back negative. Freeman, meanwhile, suffered a left thumb bruise while trying to snag a line drive down the first-base line in the second inning.</p><p>Freeman said his hand began to swell up almost immediately after the ball hit him.</p><p>"It caught me clean on the hand. There's no point in trying to be a hero in Spring Training, especially when we're getting close to the end," Freeman said. "[I'll] just put some ice on it for the next couple days and see where we go from there."</p><p><a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140316&content_id=69443282¬ebook_id=69443148&vkey=notebook_atl&c_id=atl">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140316&content_id=69443282¬ebook_id=69443286&vkey=notebook_atl&c_id=atl">Pastornicky cleared to return, plays in Minors game</a> (AtlantaBraves.com)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dl17ARdma2L9WvMHO0zd58IScb51M&authuser=0&ned=us">33 additional articles.</a></p>
