Smith-Shawver (elbow) struck out four and allowed on run on three hits and no walks across three innings Tuesday in a rehab start with Single-A Augusta.
Smith-Shawver kicked off his rehab assignment Tuesday as he enters the home stretch of his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent last June. The right-hander was able to limit the damage to just one run on a solo shot, and he spotted 29 of his 41 total pitches for strikes. Smith-Shawver will likely make his next rehab start at a higher level in Atlanta's farm system.
