Chipper Jones hit his ninth home run of the season in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Red Sox. It was his only hit in four trips.

Analysis: Chipper had been homerless since belting three jacks over two games in early June, so Sunday's blast could not have come at a better time for the struggling switch-hitter, who has only plated two runners since June 9. Sunday's bomb could be just the thing to get him going again.

Staying healthy has been Jones’ biggest challenge over the past few years, but as long as he remains in the lineup, owners in the majority of leagues can feel safe starting the Braves third baseman.
