ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. and right-hander Spencer Strider are ever-so close to returning from their respective injuries.
Acuña is set to begin a rehab assignment at the Florida Complex Rookie League in North Port on Tuesday. Acuña will play outfield and be monitored for a potential transfer to either Double-A Columbus or Triple-A Gwinnett before his return to the big leagues, but there’s no timetable for when that’ll be just yet.
“He’s starting his march back,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “It will be good to just get him running around in the outfield again and getting him at-bats.
