Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has taken batting practice at spring training with teammates, and right-hander Spencer Strider has already thrown a side session.

The Atlanta Braves are eager for two of their brightest stars to return. Brian Snitker's recent updates on Spencer Strider and Ronald Acuña Jr. is a good start.

But when will Strider and Acuna be available? Braves manager Brian Snitker said he was encouraged with how Strider looked during a bullpen session earlier this week and the workouts Acuna did in Atlanta. Snitker said the team will work on an exact timeframe for the ace and star to return to the starting lineup as spring training goes on.
