Chipper Jones was back in the Atlanta Braves' lineup for Saturday's game against the Detroit Tigers, saying he felt pressured to return from a groin injury. The Braves had suffered three straight shutout losses for the first time since 1988 entering Saturday's game. When asked 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, Braves starting pitcher John 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." When asked about his sore shoulder, Smoltz said: "We all could wish we were feeling better but that's the way it goes."
