Chipper Jones has an eleven-point lead in the National League batting race and expects to return to the lineup before the end of the season, according to Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"I have no doubt I?ll probably get back in there," Jones said. "At what point, I don?t know."

Jones (.362) said the shoulder has bothered him for well over a month and worsened Friday to the point he didn?t think he could swing the bat effectively.

He doesn't want to back into the batting title, with Albert Pujols (.351) his closest competitor.
