Chipper Jones got a scheduled day off Thursday, a day game after a night game. Jones is not concerned about the early absence of offense; he says it will all fall into place once the top of the order gets in sync. And he is referring to himself as the third batter, in addition to LF Martin Prado leading off and No. 2 hitter CF Nate McLouth, each of whom had a hit on Thursday. Jones flied out in a ninth-inning pinch-hit appearance.

Martin Prado got the start at third base Thursday, filling in for 3B Chipper Jones, who had a scheduled day off. Manager Fredi Gonzalez has been giving his regulars a day off over the course of the four-game series against the Brewers, but Prado backs up practically every other position on the field.

It's difficult to see when he'll get his break, what with the Phillies, Marlins and Mets coming to Turner Field for the first homestand of the season.

The Braves are 9-2 in Hudson’s last 11 starts against the National League East and take down the Phllies in their first encounter of the season.
