    I think it's just a day off for Simmons.

    I'd go

    JUpton
    Freddie
    CJ
    Gattis
    Mac
    Uggla
    Wood
    Schafer
    EJ

    Because why not?

    According to Mark Bowman's Twitter, the Braves brought in a farm hand to throw live batting practice to Heyward. Heyward has indicated he'd like to avoid the instructional league and get his live AB's this way. Strong sense is Heyward will return on Monday.

    Simmons:

    Andrelton Simmons is out Wednesday with a sore neck.

    Simmons woke up with the soreness on Tuesday morning and the Braves don't want it to linger. Simmons should be fine for Friday's series-opener at Wrigley Field.

    It sounds more like Fredi saving face for resting him tonight. Simmons has probably been sore for a while playing every day like he does. Players are going to be playing sore and worse this time a year.

    Having Heyward back for the whole last week would be a tremendous boost, but I won't hold my breath.

    I just hope he has time to come back and get his game back on track for the playoffs. While I hope he has time to do so, but I honestly don't think it's likely. It would be great for us to have the Heyward we had before his injury come playoff time. So we'll just have to hope against the odds I suppose.

    Is all you do bash Fredi?

    But I'm sure you know more than Fredi who is around the team daily.

    Simmons has played 30 more games than he ever has, sore neck or rest, an off day is just fine.

    I think a week should be enough to get Jason back to "normal". Two weeks and he should be at full throttle, hope we're still playing.

    I suppose calling for Janish when far better hitters can''t get it done is ill advised, but can Elliot Johnson even play SS?

    Nah, no more than all you do is accuse others of bashing Fredi.

    Little nervous about Wood coming off 11 days rest, but we'll see.
