The Braves activated 3B Troy Glaus, who was out with left knee inflammation.
In 8 rehab games at Gwinnett, Glaus hit .333 (10-30) with 2 2B, 2 HR and 8 RBI all while playing 3B.
In 466 PA for Atlanta, Glaus has hit .239/.343/.406 with 18 2B, 16 HR, 70 RBI, 95 K and 61 BB.

The buzz is that Glaus isn’t going to get many starts down the stretch. Freeman is supposedly the backup 1B at this point and with Conrad, Prado and Infante playing well there won’t be many opportunities at 3B. From what I hear, Bobby looks at him as a power bat off the bench which is really the best thing for Glaus. Big Troy’s biggest value is at the plate and with his knees barely holding together, playing the field will only hamper his production at the plate.
