Atlanta Braves stars Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. are making progress as they recover from injuries. Reports indicate they are actively participating in spring training, with Strider potentially throwing in Grapefruit League games soon. Acuña has not been cleared for games but is involved in baseball activities. Both players are anticipated to start minor league rehab assignments that will guide their returns, with Strider expected back in late April, while Acuña may return in early to mid-May—following the timeline set before spring training.
Strider's injury occurred in early-April last year, so we're coming up on a year since he had surgery.
The fact that they're very active participants basically throughout the spring is a good sign, according to Anthopoulos.
Strider could throw in a Grapefruit League game before the Braves break camp.
It's reasonable to expect Strider to join the rotation sometime in late April, while Acuña's return should come in early- to mid-May.
