The Braves' face of the franchise and their prized Cuban infielder will be starting rehab assignments tomorrow. Hopefully, both of them will be joining the big league squad very soon.
The return of Freddie Freeman and the Atlanta Braves debut of Hector Olivera are both now on the horizon, as Braves PresiGM John Hart announced that both players will be starting their rehab assignments on Thursday.

Reportedly, the Braves are feeling good about Freeman's recovery from his strained oblique, even going so far as to set a date for Freddie's return: August 19th.
