The Atlanta Braves are off to a disappointing start. Through 41 games, the team sits a game under .500. It's a far cry from where fans expected the team to be after it won 89 games and earned a wild-card spot last season.
But help is on the way. Star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. will begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, and should return to the major-league club by June 1 at the latest.
The team announced Acuña's rehab assignment Tuesday. He'll begin with the Braves’ Florida Complex League team and will work out at the Braves' spring complex before eventually joining one of the team's minor-league affiliates, per MLB.
