Braves veteran Gordon Beckham began his rehabilitation assignment on Monday with the team’s Gulf Coast League affiliate. Braves manager Brian Snitker said that if Beckham has no setbacks he should return to the active roster in about a week.
The Braves placed Beckham on the 15-day disabled list on June 2 after he suffered a left hamstring strain while running the bases. Beckham missed 18 games after injuring the same hamstring during an April 16 game at the Marlins.
In 31 games Beckham has hit 284 with a .382 on-base percentage and .432 slugging percentage. He’s started 11 games at second base, 10 at third and three at shortstop.
Beckham played at The Westminster Schools and the University of Georgia.
