The Atlanta Braves are getting closer to getting a key player back in the lineup. Shortstop Dansby Swanson will head to Rome on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s David O’Brien and could be back in the Braves lineup as soon as this weekend.
#Braves’ Swanson will begin rehab assignment with Single-A Rome on Thursday, might be just a game or two before he rejoins major league team, but that’s not certain.
