From staff and AP reports.

One of the most recognizable faces for the Atlanta Braves over the past decade will be making an appearance in Pearl this weekend.

Power-hitting third baseman Chipper Jones, rehabbing from an injury, is scheduled to play for the Mississippi Braves this weekend as he works his way back into the Braves’ starting lineup.

Mississippi Braves officials said ticket sales for the weekend games against the Huntsville Stars have been brisk, but tickets are still available. Game times are set for 7:05 each night.

Jones is hitting .333 for the Atlanta Braves with 22 doubles and 15 home runs.

The M-Braves could use his bat after suffering a pair of losses to the Stars on Thursday night. Mississippi lost 3-1 and 8-2. The team is currently in last place in the Southern League’s Southern Division with a 20-27 record.

Vicksburg native John Thomson did a rehab assignment with the M-Braves last season before being promoted back to the big club.
