LAWRENCEVILLE, Georgia - The Gwinnett Stripers, in conjunction with the Atlanta Braves, have announced today that infielder Nacho Alvarez Jr. will continue his rehab assignment with the Gwinnett Stripers. Alvarez, on Atlanta's 60-day injured list while recovering from left wrist inflammation, is scheduled to play in Thursday's 7:05 p.m. game vs. Memphis at Coolray Field.
The 22-year-old Alvarez, ranked Atlanta's No. 3 prospect by MLB.com, will join Gwinnett for the second time in his career. He made his Triple-A debut with the Stripers in 2024, batting .297 with nine doubles, one triple, 10 home runs, 47 runs, 42 RBIs, 10 stolen bases, and an .861 OPS in 64 games.
Alvarez also made his Major League debut with the Braves last season, hitting .100 (3-for-30) in eight games. The Fontana, California native was selected by Atlanta in the fifth round of the 2022 MLB Draft out of Riverside City College in California.
