In case you missed it, Eddie Rosario will be re-evaluated and is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon , and he’s not alone. Brian Snitker told the media Tyler Matzek is also feeling better and should be back on the field sooner rather than later.

Brian Snitker said Eddie Rosario (laser eye procedure) and Tyler Matzek (left shoulder inflammation) are getting closer to rehab assignments.

“They both are teetering on the cusp of going out and starting it," he said.

Matzek hasn’t pitched since mid-May, and like Rosario, he wasn’t the same guy this year as he was last year. It feels like both guys came into the season with issues, and hopefully, they return and become substantial contributors again. With Mike Soroka also nearing a return, the Braves could be close to full strength very soon.
