Braves 3B Chipper Jones returned to the lineup Friday against the Athletics after missing the previous game with a sore groin. He went 2-for-3 with a walk and leads the majors in hitting with a .423 average, including a .459 mark at home (34-for-74). "I don't know what the deal is," said Jones. "We can't get any hits on the road. We can't score any runs. Can't make pitches. Just one thing after another. Here we seem to play fundamentally sound." (Updated 05/17/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
Jones said the groin felt much better, "but I can still feel it." He is clearly a man on a mission this season after setting a goal to play 150 games, fighting off a quadriceps injury in April and now this groin injury in May. Through it all, he continues to swing one of the hottest bats in the majors and is an obvious must-start in Fantasy. (Updated 05/17/2008).
