ATLANTA (AP) - Chipper Jones made an immediate impact in his return to the Atlanta Braves lineup, homering in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Florida Marlins.
Jones had gone more than a week without starting because of a sore left foot. While still in pain, he decided it was time to test himself in game conditions.
"I don't feel like it's something that's getting any better, so I might as well see if I can play," Jones said before the game. "If I can play through it, great."
