ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- Atlanta Braves third baseman Chipper
Jones is out of the starting lineup because of a bruised left calf.
Juan Francisco replaced Jones at third for Saturday's game
against Tampa Bay. Jones was hit in the leg by B.J. Upton's hard
one-hopper in the third inning of Friday night's game, but remained
in the game until departing after the seventh inning.
Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez is hopeful that Jones will be able
to play again by Monday.
