he’s back (briefly)

The Mississippi Braves had a new center fielder and leadoff batter in their 5-0 win at Chattanooga tonight. Yes, Jordan Schafer is back with the Double-A club — but only through Friday. The former Atlanta top prospect, who played for the M-Braves’ 2008 Southern League title team, is scheduled to move to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday for the next phase of his rehab assignment. The M-Braves return home on Saturday. Schafer, coming back from a wrist injury that curtailed his meteoric 2009 season, went 2-for-5, scored a run and fanned twice tonight, helping Mike Minor get his first Double-A win. The M-Braves could certainly use Schafer, but with the way Nate McLouth is scuffling in Atlanta, the big club may need him more. … Infielder Juan Gonzalez also returned to active duty with the M-Braves, though no announcement was made regarding roster moves.
