Philadelphia went into the All-Star break with a half-game lead over the Mets, but the Phils have fallen a game behind the Mets after losing the final two games of their three-game series this week at Shea Stadium.
Atlanta will likely not have Jones, though. The major league's batting leader strained his hamstring while running out a grounder in a 9-4 win over Florida on Wednesday.
Jones and the Braves are 6 1/2 games behind the Mets.
