ATLANTA - Gary Sheffield says he doesn't even want to guess when he might be back in the Atlanta Braves lineup. <br>
<br>
The power-hitting outfielder has missed seven of the last nine games since spraining his wrist April 11 in Philadelphia. <br>
<br>
He took his second cortisone shot earlier this week and shagged fly balls during batting practice Thursday night, but he hasn't tried to hit. Still, he says it feels a lot better. <br>
<br>
Braves catcher Javy Lopez is also ailing, out for a few days with a sprained thumb. Henry Blanco takes over behind the plate.
