Infante started at second base and hit leadoff for the second time in three games in Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh. He went 3-for-4 with a double. Recommendation: Infante could move into a platoon with Kelly Johnson at second base if he gets hot, but these two starts were more likely to get him going after coming back from the DL. |

The Braves activated infielder Omar Infante from the disabled list to start on Thursday and placed catcher Brayan Pena on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained back. Advice: Infante, acquired in an offseason trade with the Chicago Cubs, was in Thursday's starting lineup against San Diego as the starting second baseman and leadoff hitter. Infante opened the season on the DL with a broken right hand and was 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs for Triple-A Richmond on Wednesday. In three games during an injury rehabilitation assignment with Richmond, Infante hit .364 (4-for-11) while playing in center field. |
