Swanson (back) got through batting practice and a workout healthy Thursday, and manager Brian Snitker hopes he can get back in the lineup Saturday, Kevin McAlpin of the Braves Radio Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

The top prospect has been sidelined with an ailing back for about a week now, but after progressing through his rehab process quickly, his return seems to be imminent. As long as no setbacks occur, Swanson should be completely fine heading into the regular season.
