Swanson (back) began hitting balls off a tee Sunday but is still days away from returning to Grapefruit League action, David O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

The former first-overall draft pick seems to be progressing at a good pace, as he just got back to fielding drills late last week. The Braves definitely are taking this slowly with their franchise shortstop, but Swanson appears to be on track to return to action later this week if all goes as planned.
