Atlanta outfielder Jeff Francoeur hopes to play on Thursday against the Tigers after getting hit in the face with a pitch over the weekend, according to The Augusta Chronicle.

There was still some swelling in his lip on Wednesday.

"The outside feels fine, but it's still a little rough on the inside," Francoeur said.

"I want to get back in there and get going as soon as possible," he added.
