Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez guessed Sunday that Andrelton Simmons (hand) will be ready in late August.
Simmons has been on the shelf since July 9 with a fractured fifth metacarpal in his right hand. He will have his cast removed within the next week but still faces close to a month of rehab. The young shortstop was batting .296 with a .788 OPS.
