Braves' Jorge Mateo: Two runs in return to lineup

Mateo (thumb) went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers.

Mateo was in the lineup for the first time since Tuesday, as he was limited to serving as a pinch runner the last two games due to a jammed thumb. Now presumably healthy after playing all nine innings Saturday, Mateo figures to regain a short-term starting role at shortstop until Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is ready to return from his rehab assignment, though Mauricio Dubon could also see some action there. Mateo has played well so far this season, batting .288 with a .757 OPS, two home runs, five RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases over 54 plate appearances.
