Atlanta Braves News: Dansby Swanson update, Ronald Acuña Jr. chasing milestones

Atlanta Braves News

The Braves hoped tot have Dansby Swanson back on the active roster on Saturday but lingering soreness in his heel will push his return off a few more days. It is likely now that Swanson will need a brief Minor League rehab stint before returning.

Ronald Acuña Jr. is in striking distance of the rare 40-40 club. He is currently sitting on 26 home runs and 25 stolen bases. It has been 13 years since Alfonso Soriano recorded the last 40-40 season. There have only been four such seasons in Major League history with Soriano, Alex Rodriguez, Barry Bonds and Jose Canseco all reaching the mark.
