According to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, the Braves are "optimistic but not certain" that Johan Camargo (oblique) will be ready for Opening Day.
Camargo's back injury is actually an oblique injury, which may mean more recovery time. He's been out since last Tuesday and it's unclear when he might be able to return to Grapefruit League action. We'll be monitoring the 24-year-old third baseman closely over this final stretch of spring training.

That's how it will start out imo. I think by the all-star break you'll see Acuna in the 5 hole with Swanson likely taking the 6th hole if he rebounds. I'm think Nick continues to decline while Camargo shows he's not starting material.

You know I wouldn't be surprised if Preston Tucker takes over for Nick at some point this season if he continue to be an effective bat.

Nick gonna ball out this season 2.2-2.6 fWAR
 
I know spring doesn't mean a lot, but I am very very encouraged about what I have seen from Teheran, Albies, Acuna, Soroka, and Newcomb among others. I don't think that we have improved enough to think about competing this year, but its given me enough hope to think that our window will definitely open in 2019. I think 80ish wins this year with good showings from Albies and Acuna should be the goal for this year.
 
His velocity seems a bit low, but Teheran is getting really crafty with his pitches. He looks like he's really attacking hitters -- it's super encouraging.
