The Braves have provided a clarification that Acuña will not require a follow-up visit to Los Angeles and is expected to get into minor league rehab games at some point this month. It’s unclear when exactly the 27-year-old fantasy superstar will kick off a rehab assignment, but it sounds like there’s a chance he’s ready to return to Atlanta for his season debut by the end of May.

Acuña remains without a definitive return timetable for his season debut. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar will continue rehabbing in Florida until that follow-up visit takes place. Braves manager Brian Snitker told reporters Monday he’s not sure when that re-evaluation in Los Angeles will take place. Fantasy managers will have to remain patient for now. It’s going to qualifty as a surprise if Acuña makes it back to Atlanta before the end of May.

Acuña had hoped to be playing in the weekend series against the Dodgers before the start of the season, but that was an optimistic — and honestly, unrealistic — timeline. The 27-year-old is still building up strength in his quad according to Bowman, and Atlanta doesn’t have a firm timeline for when Acuña will be able to play. At this point, it’d be a surprise if he was back with Atlanta before the end of May.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution’s Justin Toscano adds that Acuña remains without an official return timetable, but seems on scheduled to return at some point in the next month, as originally expected. It’s a significant development for fantasy managers that the superstar outfielder appears on track to make his season debut at some point in mid-May.
