As the Braves continue to struggle on the field, there is an unusual sign of disharmony among the team's most established veterans. Chipper Jones was back in the Braves' lineup Saturday, saying he felt pressured by pitcher John Smoltz to rush back from a groin injury. The Braves had suffered three straight shutout losses for the first time since 1988 entering the game, which they lost 2-1 to Detroit -- despite Jones' homer. When asked before the game if he is rushing his return, Jones said, "Probably. But I feel a little backed into a corner." Asked to elaborate, Jones indicated some doubted he was injured enough to miss games. "Let's just say there are people who don't believe me," Jones said. "Let's just say that and leave it at that." After Friday night's 5-0 loss to the Tigers, Smoltz said, "You can't worry about who's in the lineup and who isn't. You can't worry about that stuff anymore." Added Smoltz: "I certainly appreciate the effort of the guys who are on the field busting it." Smoltz didn't identify Jones as a player not in the lineup, but Jones said after Saturday's game that he got the message.
