Chipper Jones went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies. Larry Wayne took a struggling Roy Halladay deep in the third inning. The bomb was his 10th of the season, and fourth in 14 games since the All-Star break. Entering the final two months of his illustrious career, Jones is hitting an elite .317/.387/.513.

Chipper Jones returned to action on Friday July 20.

Chipper Jones is out of the Braves' starting lineup Wednesday because of general soreness. The Braves are optimistic that he'll be ready to go on Thursday. Jones, 40, is batting .312 with an .869 OPS.

On the same day that Chipper Jones was named to his eighth career All-Star team, he led the Braves to a 10-3 victory over the Cubs by going 5-for-5 with four RBI. One of the greatest pure hitters of his generation, Chipper has always been able to shine on the diamond when healthy, and his skills were surely on display in this one. The future Hall-of-Famer has now hit safely in 10 straight, and is hitting an impressive .313/.389/.485 with six homers and 33 RBI in 163 at-bats on the year.

Chipper Jones has been added to the National League All-Star roster, in place of Matt Kemp. Kemp is still recovering from a hamstring strain and has bowed out of next Tuesday's game. Jones is one of 10 candidates in Major League Baseball's "Final Vote" contest, but he won't need the help anymore.

Chipper Jones is scheduled to get the day off Saturday. Jones has been swinging the bat well recently, so Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez just wants to give him a day to keep him fresh. The 40-year-old is hitting .293/.375/.456 with six homers, 28 RBI and an .831 OPS across 168 plate appearances this season.

Chipper Jones is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Yankees. Not surprising with the day game after the night game. Juan Francisco will make the start at the hot corner and bat eighth Wednesday.

Braves activated 3B Chipper Jones from the 15-day disabled list. Chipper needed just two rehab games to show that his calf if all better. He's in the lineup Sunday, batting third and playing at the hot corner. Jose Constanza has been sent down in a corresponding move.

According to Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, Chipper Jones (calf) could return to the Braves lineup as early as Sunday. Chipper wanted to avoid a rehab stint altogether, and it now looks like he'll be limited to just two games there. Whether or not he starts tomorrow, it looks like he can safely be returned to lineups for next week's games.

Chipper Jones (calf) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Class A Rome. Jones wanted to avoid a rehab stint, but he was ultimately overruled. He'll play rehab games on Saturday and Sunday on should rejoin the Braves for Monday's series opener against the Yankees. The 40-year-old third baseman suffered a left calf contusion when he was hit with a line drive on May 18 and underwent surgery a few days later to have fluid removed from his leg.
