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.
