Braves infielder Pedro Ciriaco has done a nice job the last few days filling in for the injured Andrelton Simmons, who is sidelined due to a hand injury.
Ciriaco made his second straight start Wednesday against Boston, going 3 for 4 with one double and two RBI. He has managed multiple hits in two straight games, going 5 for 8 (.625) with two doubles, three RBI and one run.
