Injured outfielder Nate McLouth has been cleared by doctors to begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment on Friday with the Triple-A Gwinnett Braves. McLouth has been on the disabled list since June 9 after suffering a concussion from a collision with Jason Heyward.

McLouth has finally gotten rid of the post-concussion headaches and the dizziness he’s been experiencing when working out in the hot summer days.

The team did not reveal how long McLouth would stay with Gwinnett before re-joining the Braves in Atlanta.

Nubyjas Wilborn brings a unique perspective and a wealth of experience covering the Atlanta sports scene. The Lithonia, GA native grew up literally with a sports page in his crib. He was reading local legendary scribe Furman Bisher while the other children were reading nursery rhymes. Nubyjas tried his hand at playing on the field and thought he would even play in the World Cup until he got embarrassed in a training session by Clint Mathis during his freshman year of college. He then realized it was easier and there was more longevity in talking about sports rather than playing. You can hear Nubyjas on WCLK 91.9 as the voice of Clark Atlanta Football and Basketball, see him in press boxes all over the city and doing updates on radio for Sporting News Radio.
