Brandon Beachy threw five scoreless innings in his second official minor league rehabilitation start Wednesday in Single-A Rome. He gave up three hits, walked one and struck out three, while throwing 68 pitches. His command continues to improve after he had three walks and a wild pitch in four innings his first time out Friday in Triple-A Gwinnett.

Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said Beachy is scheduled to make three more rehab starts before making his return from elbow reconstruction surgery. The Braves are targeting the June 18 doubleheader against the Mets for his return, if everything continues to go well.

“If there are no setbacks or anything, it would be a perfect fit,” Gonzalez said. “But we know about perfect fits, and that’s why I do all my stuff in pencil.”
