Groin healed, Camargo back in action

ATLANTA -- The Braves received a boost on Monday night when third baseman Johan Camargo returned to the lineup against the Cardinals at SunTrust Park.

Camargo was batting .307 with a .524 slugging percentage since the All-Star break when he left the Sept. 11 game against the Giants with tightness in his left groin. He missed four games and nearly returned on Sunday against the Nationals, but he was left in the on-deck circle when the contest ended.

"It's a great feeling to be able to see your name in the lineup again," Camargo said before the game through an interpreter.
