AJ Smith-Shawver, the top prospect for Atlanta Braves, begins rehab after an oblique muscle injury, aiming for a rotation spot post-All-Star break.
Smith-Shawver showed promise in his debut but sustained an oblique injury, giving way to Spencer Schwellenbach. He will need time to build up before returning to the rotation.
The right-handed pitcher alerted the training staff about discomfort early in his debut game against the Cubs, leading to the discovery of a strained oblique.
Smith-Shawver's return marks a potential opportunity to secure a starting spot in the Braves' rotation post-All-Star break after his season debut was interrupted by injury.
