NL SB leader Michael Bourn (OF, ATL) was missing from the ATL starting lineup for a third straight game Wednesday. While Bourn's recent MRI revealed no structural damage, ATL is likely to be cautious in returning him to the lineup since it has already clinched a post-season berth.

Expectations were high for Michael Bourn (OF, ATL) after the speedster piled up 174 stolen bases from 2009-2011.

In fact, he has just one SB in September after posting no fewer than seven steals every other month this year.
