Overview
- The Braves announced Monday that Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha‑Seong Kim began Minor League rehabilitation assignments with the FCL Braves in North Port, Florida.
- Acuña has been sidelined since aggravating a Grade 1 left hamstring on June 9 after an earlier May 2 strain and return, and he will use the FCL stint to build game readiness.
- The club has not disclosed how long either rehab assignment will last and said Acuña will likely need less time in the FCL than Kim.
- Kim underwent right middle finger tendon surgery in the offseason, was placed on the 10‑day injured list on July 4 for finger inflammation, and has struggled at the plate this season.
- If Acuña progresses in Florida the Braves could aim to activate him shortly after the All‑Star break for their July 17 opener, but his prior ACL tears and recent setbacks mean the team is prioritizing caution.
