Braves' Jones back in lineup in 4-0 win over Mets

Baseball Betting Lines

07/10/2010 -

NEW YORK (AP) -When Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper Jones had back spasms after one night in the team hotel in New York, his solution was easy: sleep on the floor.

Jones was back in the starting lineup in Saturday's 4-0 victory over the New York Mets after sitting out the previous night. He has spent two nights on the floor in his room and said he plans to also sleep there Saturday night.

``I don't have a problem with any of the other beds in the league except these,'' he said.

Jones said he was still bothered by his back Saturday. During one play in the infield, he let a ball go through his legs. He also said it hurt more to swing right-handed than left-handed.

But Jones said he has made adjustments for the pain.

``It was doable today,'' he said.

Manager Bobby Cox said before the game - perhaps jokingly - that the beds were uncomfortable.

Jones was booed during pregame introductions and each at-bat. He entered Saturday's game batting .319 with 42 home runs in his career against the Mets. He scored one run and had two hits in the Braves' second consecutive win against the Mets.

He isn't the only Braves player dealing with injuries.

Rookie outfielder Jason Heyward is on the 15-day disabled list because of a deep bone bruise in his left thumb that will keep him out of the All-Star game.

Heyward was scheduled to take batting practice with Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday night. He will travel to Anaheim, where the All-Star game will be held Tuesday. Heyward will not play, but will take batting practice Monday and Tuesday.

``Hopefully, he'll be back after the break,'' Cox said. ``But we don't know until he starts swinging.''

Braves outfielder Nate McLouth started a rehab assignment with Gwinnett on Friday night, going 1 for 3 against Charlotte. He's been out since June 9, when he collided with Heyward chasing a fly ball and hurt his head.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
