Ender Inciarte was back in the Braves lineup Saturday after he was scratched Thursday with groin tightness.

Inciarte lead off and manned center field against the Cardinals. He went 0-for-3 with a walk and showed no lingering effects.

The Braves had classified the injury as minor and suggested he could play Saturday.

The gold glove outfielder is hitting .281 (9-for-32) in 12 spring-training games.
