Braves' Johnson (back) in lineup Friday vs. Phillies

Atlanta Braves third baseman Chris Johnson (back) is back in the lineup Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Analysis:

Johnson exited Wednesday's game with a lower-back strain, and missed Thursday's contest due to the injury. He expected to be back Friday, and it appears that is the case as he will man the hot corner and bat seventh for the Braves.
