Farmer has been out since May 10 and is now entering a rehab phase. MLB.com notes that he will begin a rehab assignment on June 23, this time trying his hand at catching in an effort to increase his chances of rejoining the roster. Throughout his big-league career, Farmer has appeared in 19 games behind the plate, including 15 during the 2019 season.
Key context:
– The Braves recently completed a series win over the Brewers at home before traveling to face the Padres.
– The team is managing Farmer’s return timeline as part of their roster planning for the middle of the season.
Injuries and roster updates are a regular part of a long MLB season, and the team will likely monitor Farmer’s progress closely to determine when he can contribute again, whether as a catcher or in another role as needed.
Stay tuned for further updates as the Braves navigate the remainder of their schedule and work toward strengthening their lineup with Farmer’s potential return.
