Braves center fielder Michael Harris II began a rehab assignment with the Triple-A Gwinnett Stripers Wednesday night in Lawrenceville.

Harris singled, walked and stole a base in three at-bats as Gwinnett beat Buffalo 2-1.

Harris has been out with a lower back strain. The 22-year-old last appeared in a major-league game on April 6.

Braden Shewmake launched a solo home run in the fifth inning for the Stripers (8-14). The Bisons are 9-13.

Shewmake homered for the third time in his past seven games. 

Braves fan favorite Charlie Culberson went 0-for-3 for Gwinnett and is hitting .140.
