Chipper Jones returned to action on Wednesday July 27.

Chipper Jones (quad) said he'll likely be available only to pinch-hit for the next couple days. Chipper is dealing with a quad ailment that he suffered Monday, and while it doesn't appear to be a DL situation, he'll sit out a couple days to let it calm down. Martin Prado will handle third base in the meantime.

Chipper Jones (quad) is not in Tuesday night's lineup against the against the Pirates. Jones exited Monday's game with a strained right quad and is taking the day off as a precautionary measure. He was activated from the disabled list just 24 hours ago.

Chipper Jones made an early exit from Monday night's game with a strained right quadriceps. Chipper suffered the injury in the sixth inning while fielding a slow-rolling grounder. He homered two innings later and only left the game as a precautionary measure, but the Braves might hold the veteran out of their next couple of contests. He just returned from the disabled list on Monday.

Chipper Jones (knee) is confident that he'll be able to play Monday against the Pirates. Jones has appeared in just two minor league rehab games, but apparently feels sturdy enough to rejoin the big league club. It's worth noting that Chipper circled July 25 as his target return date after he first underwent surgery earlier this month.

Chipper Jones went 0-for-2 with a walk in his first rehab game with Single-A Rome. Jones was did not play the field Saturday as he was the DH but said his knee is good and will play third during Sunday's game. The Braves will see how he feels after the game tomorrow and decide what to do with him.

Chipper Jones (knee) will play two rehab games for Single-A Rome over the weekend after all, playing third base Saturday and Sunday. Chipper had been scratched from the assignment and was set to continue with his workouts, but the Braves have made a change of plans again. If all goes well over the weekend, he'll be activated for Monday's game against the Pirates. Jones has been out since July 9 while recovering from surgery to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee.

Chipper Jones (knee) will not begin a minor league rehab assignment this weekend. Jones will work out this weekend, but the Braves won't make a decision about a potential rehab assignment until he takes batting practice with the team on Monday. The veteran third baseman underwent surgery July 9 to repair a meniscus tear in his right knee.

Chipper Jones (knee) is now unlikely to begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday with Class A Rome. Braves general manager Frank Wren said that Jones will be evaluated on a day-to-day basis before being cleared for a rehab assignment. It was frankly remarkable that Friday was even a possibility in the first place, considering that he just had knee surgery on July 9.

Chipper Jones (knee) ran some at about 90 percent effort Tuesday and hit some from right side of the plate. He took 40 swings from left side Monday, but it's swinging from the right side that gives him trouble. Chipper will begin a minor league rehab assignment Friday with Single-A Rome and will likely rejoin the Braves next Monday.
