Baldwin has faced live batting practice over the last couple of days. Now he’ll get a chance against some real competition over the weekend.
Alex Anthopolous said a little over a week ago that he didn’t think Baldwin would even need a rehab assignment, so it does not seem as if he is going to spend much time in Gwinnett. If all goes well over the weekend, he could rejoin the Braves as early as Tuesday when they begin a series with the San Francisco Giants at Truist Park.
