ATLANTA -- Suspended outfielder Hector Olivera has started a minor league rehab assignment but has no guarantees he will return to the Atlanta Braves after his arrest on domestic violence charges.Braves president of baseball operations John Hart said Friday that Olivera will play four or five days for the teams Gulf Coast League affiliate before reporting to Triple-A Gwinnett next week.Olivera had a single and two walks in three plate appearances Friday against the GCL Yankees. He is eligible to return to the majors on Aug. 2, but the Braves have no timetables in place.No, there arent, and we told Hector the same thing, Hart said. There just isnt a guarantee, and I think theres certainly going to be things were going to be looking at off the field and the progress that we think hes made.Hart met with Olivera a couple of weeks ago in Florida at the Braves extended spring training facility. Hart said Olivera was contrite regarding his April 13 arrest at a hotel outside Washington, D.C., but added thats only a start.I think hes making an honest effort to try and put himself back and sort of resurrect his career, Hart said. Other than that, well just follow it out, stay connected going forward. Theres a lot of things we can do come Aug. 2.Oliveras quick demise was a big blow to Atlanta, which acquired him in a 13-player, three-team trade last July 30. The 31-year-old Cuban was expected to boost the teams offense in his first full season in the majors, but the arrest changed everything.The Braves, who have been unsuccessful in attempts to trade Olivera, rank last in runs and homers and have baseballs worst record at 31-58.Those poor numbers, however, pale in severity to the report filed by Arlington, Virginia, police that Olivera was responsible for visible bruises on the body of a female acquaintance.That resulted in an 82-game suspension without pay that commissioner Rob Manfred announced in late May and was retroactive to April 30.Hart is ready for Olivera to speak to reporters about his actions. Olivera was scheduled to appear in court in Virginia earlier this month, but the date has been rescheduled.This is where were at right now, and I think to the extent he wants to, those are the questions that should go Hectors way when he comes back, Hart said. Im sure hell get a lot of those questions at Gwinnett and if and when he comes back here, hell have to answer those same questions.Olivera is losing $1,792,350 of his $4 million salary this season. The Los Angeles Dodgers signed him to a six-year, $62.5 million contract in May 2015. He is owed $28.5 million from 2017-20.

But the Dolphins still have a long way to go to get to the top half of these standings, and none of it will come until the product on the field improves.Whats goodThe Dolphins havent had a winning record since 2008, but at least they still provide good value. With the fourth-cheapest ticket in the NFL, Miamis top ranking this year came in bang for the buck (61st). Stadium experience, though still ranked near triple-digits, did improve this year, thanks to the completion of a major phase of their $500 million renovation of Hard Rock Stadium. Besides the new name, the team has a state-of-the-art canopy which protects fans from the rain and does a better job of making it louder in the stadium. The team also has four new big screens at the corner of each end zone, which are the laargest in the AFC East.dddddddddddd.Whats badA 115th-place rank in fan relations will be disappointing to Dolphins president and CEO Tom Garfinkel, who has spent three years with the team concentrating on community outreach. But he has been hamstrung with a consistently poor product on the field. The Dolphins have made the playoffs just once since 2002. They havent had a playoff win since 2000. Thats 16 years -- nearly a generation -- of fans who have been beaten down and suffered through mostly downtrodden results.Whats newThis year, the Dolphins roster fell 15 places in the players ranking, now ahead of only two other NFL teams (the Lions and 49ers). This team lacks game-breaking talent thanks, in part, to average to subpar drafts over the past few years, and signing big-name free agents hasnt been a cure-all. QB Ryan Tannehill is a middle-of-the-pack performer at the most important position, which means the Dolphins must be deep in other areas -- and that hasnt been the case. Gase is working to get his kind of players in the building, but it will take a few years to accomplish that.Next: Washington Redskins?| Full rankings ' ' '
