ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves are ready to put their suitcases away and take their first look at the lineup they envisioned before the season. General manager Frank Wren said Thursday Jason Heyward is expected to be activated from the disabled list for Friday night's series opener against the Dodgers. It would be Atlanta's first chance this season to have both Heyward, recovering from an appendectomy, and catcher Brian McCann, who made a recent return from right shoulder surgery, in the same lineup.
