Edgar Renteria began fielding grounders and taking swings again during Tuesday afternoon's batting practice at Turner Field. Like when he was at this same rehab stage two weeks ago, the Braves shortstop experienced no limitations or discomfort in his right ankle.
But having learned from the freak setback that he experienced two weeks ago, Renteria isn't making any guarantees about returning to the lineup when he becomes eligible to be activated from the disabled list on Friday.
"I don't know," said Renteria, whose game action has been limited to one pitch since he suffered a high right ankle sprain on Aug. 2. "I can't tell you for sure because I'm not sure."
