Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox was hospitalized Tuesday after suffering a possible stroke, Atlanta television station WSB reported.
His condition was not immediately known. The Braves have not released a statement.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Braves manager Brian Snitker, who served as a coach under Cox, said he reached out to Cox's family and was "very concerned," but couldn't say more about his condition.
Cox, 77, attended the Braves' home opener Monday at SunTrust Park and gave a ceremonial command to "Play ball."

Cox managed the Braves to 14 consecutive division championships from 1991 through 2005 (not counting the 1994 strike season), five National League pennants and the 1995 World Series championship. In 29 seasons as a manager with the Braves and Blue Jays, he compiled a 2,504-2,001 record. The 2,504 wins are fourth all time.
In Cox's final season in the dugout, 2010, the Braves finished 91-71 and made the National League Division Series as a wild card.
The Braves retired his No. 6 in 2011. Three years later, he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Cox also served as the Braves' general manager from 1985 until he replaced Russ Nixon as Atlanta's manager in 1990. He now works as a special assistant to Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos.
