A spokesperson with the Augusta GreenJackets said a date for the team's Augusta stop hasn't been nailed down, but the team is working with the Braves to set a date and time.

Confirmed stops include:

  • Feb. 20: Gresham Park Baseball Complex in Dekalb County for the Morehouse College baseball season opener against Tuskegee University

  • March 12: Cherokee, N.C., with the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians

  • July 9: Braves Country Battles Championship Tournament in Alpharetta
