Mateo (thumb) went 2-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Dodgers. Mateo was in the lineup for the first time since Tuesday, as he missed the last two games due to a jammed thumb. He appeared in both of those contests as a pinch runner. Now presumably healthy after playing all nine innings Saturday, Mateo figures to regain a short-term starting role at shortstop until Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is ready to return from his rehab assignment, though Mauricio Dubon could also see some action there. Mateo has played well so far this season, batting .288 with a .757 OPS, two home runs, five RBI, 14 runs scored and four stolen bases over 54 plate appearances.

Nursing jammed thumb
Mateo is dealing with a jammed thumb, Lindsay Crosby of BravesToday.com reports. The injury looks to be minor, but it was enough that Atlanta felt compelled to call up Jim Jarvis, who is making his major-league debut at shortstop Wednesday. Atlanta is idle Thursday, so Mateo will receive at least a couple days of rest.
Heading to bench Wednesday
Mateo is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners. After a six-game run as Atlanta's starting shortstop, Mateo will cede the position to Jim Jarvis in the latter's MLB debut. With Mauricio Dubon seeing more time in the outfield of late in the wake of Ronald Acuna's (hamstring) recent move to the injured list, Mateo could continue to see the bulk of the playing time at shortstop in the short term. Mateo is likely to pivot into more of a utility role once Ha-Seong Kim (finger) is back from the IL, however.
