AJ Smith-Shawver allowed no runs over 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Gwinnett in a rehab start Saturday.

Smith-Shawver scattered four hits, and he averaged 96.9 mph on his fastball while touching 99 with the heater. The right-hander has looked sharp in his rehab appearances, and while he likely needs at least one more minor-league outing as he rebuilds his strength, there’s a very good chance the talented 23-year-old is ready to roll at some point near August.
