Playing his second rehab game for Gwinnett, Braves star Ronald Acuña went 0-for-3 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored Wednesday afternoon in Jacksonville, Fla.

Acuña served as the designated hitter and did not play in the field.

The Stripers (5-9) lost 9-1 to the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp (7-7).

Braves prospect William Woods made his Triple-A debut in the eighth, striking out the three batters he faced.

Acuña, rehabbing after tearing his ACL last summer, went 1-for-3 with a double in his first game with Gwinnett on Tuesday night.

The Braves are still using May 6 as a loose target date for Acuña to join the big club. If Acuña returns May 6, his first game in around 10 months would be at Truist Park against the Brewers.

Acuña hit .283 with a .990 on-base plus slugging percentage and 24 home runs last season before tearing his ACL in July.
