Braves' Brandon Phillips: Back in lineup Saturday
Phillips (groin) is batting sixth and starting at second base Saturday against the Brewers.
Analysis:
The veteran infielder has missed the last the last two games with groin stiffness, but was available in a pinch-hitting capacity Friday, so it appears all systems are go moving forward. Phillips is currently riding an 11-game hit streak and owns a .352 batting average on the season. He'll likely return to the No. 2 spot in the lineup once he gets back to full strength.
