Minneapolis, MN -- (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves activated third baseman Chipper Jones from the 15-day disabled list Wednesday and he went 3-for-4 in a 6-0 loss to the Minnesota Twins.

Jones had been sidelined since May 24 with bruised hands that required cortisone shots. When his right hand didn't heal, he was sent to the DL.

Jones bruised both hands when he braced his fall after colliding with Pittsburgh third baseman Jose Bautista on May 11 and tried to play through the pain until being sent to the DL.

Jones is hitting .311 with 12 homers and 27 RBI in 43 games this season.

To make room for Jones, pitcher Blaine Boyer was sent to Triple-A Richmond.
