ATLANTA - Braves outfielders Andruw Jones and Chipper Jones didn't start against the Montreal Expos Sunday because of injuries.<br>
<br>
Andruw Jones was given the day off after being hit on the helmet with a pitch Saturday night. He had puffiness around his left eye and cheek. He says the helmet took the brunt of the blow and the ball didn't hit his head.<br>
<br>
Chipper Jones was a late scratch from the lineup. He continued to be bothered by a stiff neck that also caused him to miss Saturday's game. The Braves cleanup hitter was injured making a diving catch in Friday night's 5-0 victory over the Expos. His head snapped back as he made the catch, and several forms of treatment -- including traction -- didn't ease the pain.
