Chris Johnson was ejected in the first inning of Saturday's game for arguing balls and strikes. Johnson must have said something home plate umpire Jim Joyce didn't like. The game was delayed for rain immediately after Johnson was tossed, so there was no indication as to who will replace him at third base when the game resumes.

Chris Johnson blasted a three-run homer on Friday, powering the Braves to a 5-0 victory over the Marlins, their 14th straight win. The first inning blast of Jacob Turner was his only hit in four trips to the plate on the night, but was the biggest blow in the game. Johnson has been one of the biggest surprises in the National League this season, hitting a league-leading .338 with eight homers and 45 RBI.

Chris Johnson went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Friday's 6-4 win over the Phillies. Johnson now has eight consecutive multi-hit games, which ties a franchise record. He's the first Braves' player to do it since Hank Aaron in 1959. With a .347 batting average, Johnson has opened up a nice lead over Yadier Molina (.330) and Michael Cuddyer (.329) for the NL batting crown.

Chris Johnson went 3-for-5 with a couple of RBI against the Rockies on Wednesday. Maybe Johnson has an actual shot at the batting title after all. This makes seven straight multihit games, and he's all of the way up to .346 for the season. With six homers, 41 runs scored, 39 RBI and no steals, he hasn't been all that valuable for fantasy purposes even with the stellar average. Still, he's been a great "throw-in" for the Braves.

Chris Johnson is in Friday's lineup against the Reds. Johnson left Thursday's game due to a muscle spasm in his back, but he took anti-inflammatories and feels good. It's not expected to be a lingering issue.

Chris Johnson, apparently bothered by a sore elbow, came out of Thursday's game against the Reds after either innings. Johnson grimaced on a swing much earlier in the game and could be seen trying to stretch out his arm while in the field. Whatever it is, it seems like it's something he's content to play through. Still, the Braves did put in Paul Janish for defense tonight.

Chris Johnson went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored as the Braves beat the Marlins on Tuesday. Johnson doubled twice among his three hits, raising his RBI total to 25. He's 11-for-24 (.458) in his last seven games and is hitting .330/.377/.480 overall.

Chris Johnson went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI as the Braves beat the Mets on Wednesday. For as good as Johnson has been this year, the homer was surprisingly just his fourth on the year and first since May 13. The Braves recently dealt Johnson's handcuff, Juan Francisco, in what amounted to a vote of confidence in the 28-year-old. He's responded with a .319/.355/.463 line in 56 games.

Chris Johnson went 1-for-4 with a double in a loss to the Blue Jays on Monday. Atlanta has used Johnson masterfully, platooning him with Juan Francisco at the hot corner, and been rewarded with a .349/.382/.496 slash line. According to BABIP, Johnson has been amongst the luckiest hitters in the league this year. If you can sell high, do so before he regresses to something similar to the .281/.326/.451 batting line he posted in 136 games last season between the Astros and Diamondbacks.

Chris Johnson went 2-for-4 with a double against the Pirates on Saturday. Johnson is now hitting a ridiculous .418 with two home runs on the season. He's been playing first base in Freddie Freeman's absence, but with Freeman's return imminent he'll likely return to third. Johnson is part of a platoon with Juan Francisco at the hot corner but when Johnson is hitting like this it's hard to imagine he won't get the bulk of the playing time.
