NORTH AUGUSTA – Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Ian Anderson is set to continue his rehab assignment at SRP Park on Sunday, June 30.
The 2021 World Series champion is slated to be the starting pitcher for Sunday’s 1:35 p.m. contest against the Charleston RiverDogs, according to a news release from the Augusta GreenJackets.
The third overall pick in the 2016 MLB Draft, Anderson soared his way through the Braves’ minor league system before making his Major League debut in August of 2020. Anderson had a phenomenal showing throughout the Braves’ 2021 World Series-winning season, capped off with five no-hit innings in Game 3 of the World Series against the Houston Astros.
The righty has spent the last 14 months recovering from a torn UCL and will continue his return to full form with an appearance for the GreenJackets this weekend.
Tickets for Sunday’s game can be purchased at greenjacketsbaseball.com, or by calling 803-349-WINS (9467).
