Braves' Simmons in lineup Friday vs. Mets
Atlanta Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons (ankle) is in the lineup Friday, batting second against the New York Mets.
Analysis:
Simmons will return to the field after leaving Wednesday's game against the Nationals after tweaking his ankle/Achilles. With the Braves basically out of contention this season, Simmons' return to the field suggests he's fully over his minor ailment.
