CINCINNATI -- A biopsy on a cyst in Andres Galarraga's broken thumb found no trace of cancer, leaving the Atlanta Braves first baseman relieved Wednesday.

Atlanta also welcomed back pitching coach Leo Mazzone, who fainted in the dugout during Tuesday night's game. Mazzone, 51, was released from a hospital Wednesday morning after test results came back normal.

"I'm all right, just a little tired," said Mazzone, who had scrapes on his forehead, nose and the left side of his face. "They did everything from A to Z and couldn't find anything."

Galarraga, 39, cracked the bone at the tip of his left thumb July 22 and X-rays found a cyst by the hairline fracture. He flew to Chicago for body scans Monday that came back normal.

Doctors inserted a needle in the thumb to take a piece of the cyst for tests. Those results, the last ones awaited, also showed no cancer.

"Everything was fine. Perfect," Dr. Joe Chandler said before Atlanta's game against the Cincinnati Reds. "It was good news."

Galarraga missed last season while he received chemotherapy and radiation treatment to kill a cancerous tumor in his back. Although doctors had told him not to worry -- they recommended the tests only as a precaution because he had had cancer -- Galarraga admitted he was concerned until the final results came back.

"When they saw something on the bone, I wasn't sure," he said. "I was scared a little bit, but all of the tests they did came back positive."

The thumb was still sore Wednesday from the needle used for the biopsy, so Galarraga was out of the lineup for a third straight day. He hopes to play again Friday.

Mazzone sat at his cubicle at the end of the clubhouse poring over statistics, his face still scraped up from his hard landing on the dugout floor.

He said he worked out on a treadmill before Tuesday's game and started feeling woozy in the second inning. He passed out as the inning ended, delaying the game briefly.

"I was a little dizzy. Then I hit the deck face-first," Mazzone said. "That was scary. As soon as I hit the floor, I came to."

Mazzone was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital for tests that found nothing wrong with him. It's the same hospital where Reds bench coach Ken Griffey Sr. was tested Sunday after experiencing chest pains during a game. Griffey was fine and is back with the team.

Mazzone wasn't sure why he fainted.

"Must be something in the water," he joked.

Mazzone said the hospital staff was so nice to him that he left 30 tickets for Wednesday's game, which was delayed by a severe thunderstorm that dropped hail on the field.
