Dan Uggla went 4-for-5 with a pair of homers and five RBI in Tuesday's blowout win over the Marlins. Anibal Sanchez didn't have his good stuff in this one, and Uggla was one of many that made him pay. The two longballs now give him an even 10 for the season to go along with 37 RBI. Uggla has gone deep five times over the last 11 games.

Dan Uggla went 2-for-3 with a pair of RBI in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Dodgers. Both hits were singles, but the second plated the tying run in a 2-1 game in the ninth inning. The multi-hit effort was Uggla's second in three games, while he's now batting .264/.346/.417 after sporting a .527 OPS less than 10 days ago. Atlanta's second baseman appears poised to avoid a repeat of his dreadful 2011 start.

Dan Uggla went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in Monday's loss to the Astros. Uggla is now 1-for-13 (.077) with five strikeouts to begin the season. He can't possibly be as bad as he was during the first half last year, but the Braves likely need big seasons from him and Jason Heyward if they hope to contend.

Dan Uggla went 3-for-4 with a homer, a double and three RBI in the Braves' 9-4 win over the Mets on Friday. The multihit game was his first since March 5, but Uggla is now up to five homers for the spring. He'll be back in the cleanup spot for the Braves this year, though this time he's expected to hit behind Brian McCann and ahead of Chipper Jones.

Dan Uggla homered in a second straight game Thursday against the Phillies. Today's blast off David Herndon probably wasn't quite as noteworthy as yesterday's off Stephen Strasburg. Still, it gives him three homers for the spring, which is a nice change from last year. He hit .212 with one homer last spring before turning in a terrible first half of the regular season.

Dan Uggla homered and doubled Monday in the Braves' 10-5 win over the Astros. Uggla spent the second half of last season hitting cleanup for the Braves, but now it looks like he'll be moved behind Brian McCann in the order, something that figures to take a toll on his fantasy value. While McCann typically has solid enough OBPs, he's slow as molasses, something that will cut into Uggla's RBI numbers if the current arrangement sticks. He'd also score fewer runs.

Dan Uggla hit a two-run homer in Wednesday's season-ending loss to the Braves. He took Cole Hamels deep in the third inning. Uggla finishes his year with 36 home runs, a new career best by three. He has now homered at least 30 times in five straight seasons. His season will be remembered for his Braves record 33-game hitting streak and for the manner in which he turned around his campaign after the All-Star break, batting .296 after hitting just .185 before it. He'll make $13 million in the second year of a five-year contract in 2012.

Dan Uggla went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's loss to the Marlins. The loss leaves the Braves just 2.5 games ahead of the Cardinals for the National League wild card. Uggla took Ricky Nolasco deep in the seventh. The home run was his 35th of the season, extending his new career-high total. Uggla is now batting .307 with an on-base percentage approaching .400 since the All-Star break after entering the Midsummer Classic with a .185 average and .257 OBP.

Dan Uggla singled and ripped a solo homer in Friday's loss to the Dodgers. The blast came in the ninth inning off Dodgers closer Javy Guerra, cutting the lead to two, but the Braves were unable to chip away any more. Uggla has picked up a hit in 10 of 13 games since his 33-game hit streak ended.
