Braves minor league manager Luis Salazar returned to camp Wednesday, two weeks after being struck in the face by a foul ball and losing his left eye. "I'm very fortunate to be alive," Salazar said. "God gave me a second chance in this life, and I'm going to take advantage of it." He hopes to join his Class A Lynchburg team near the start of the Carolina League season next month. Salazar was standing on the top step of the dugout when he was struck by Brian McCann's line drive during the first inning of a game against the St. Cardinals earlier this month. "Brian McCann is a very sensitive kid and he was worried about my health," Salazar said. "We talked for about three hours. I told him what happened could happen to anybody. I told him move on and forget the incident."
