Acuña and Kim Head to Stripers | Atlanta News

Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ha-Seong Kim are both heading to the Gwinnett Stripers for rehab assignments as they recover from injuries — Acuña from a strained hamstring and Kim from finger inflammation. Acuña, who’s hitting .251 with seven homers and 15 steals before his injury, showed flashes of form in Florida Complex League play, including a home run and five RBIs. Kim, batting just .068 in 27 games this season, also went 2-for-6 with a homer and two RBIs during his stint. This isn’t Kim’s first rehab trip to Gwinnett — he was there in May — while Acuña has a long history with the club, including his Triple-A debut in 2017. Both are set to join the Stripers for their road series against the Toledo Mud Hens starting July 17 at 7:05 PM, marking a key step in their return to the Braves lineup. Acuña will be the eighth Braves player to rehab with Gwinnett this season, joining stars like Spencer Strider and Sean Murphy.
