Ronald Acuña Jr. is set to begin a rehab assignment in the Florida Complex League, which marks a significant step towards his return after nearly a year of absence. The Braves badly need his performance, especially as they struggle in field production rankings. Additionally, Spencer Strider is progressing following his elbow surgery and hamstring injury, with a sim game planned that will determine his next steps. The Braves are cautious with both players to avoid further setbacks.
Acuña will begin his rehab stint with the Florida Complex League team tomorrow. The Braves don't know how long he'll play before being activated.
Strider will throw five innings or 70-75 pitches in a sim game on Wednesday. The Braves will then decide if he needs to make a rehab start before being activated.
