Braves' Ronald Acuna: Lands on IL with strained hamstring
Atlanta placed Acuna on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left hamstring.
Acuna injured his hamstring during Tuesday's loss to the White Sox while trying to beat out an infield single. The outfielder missed a little over two weeks of action in May with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain, though it's unclear what the grade of strain is this time around. Atlanta could use Mauricio Dubon more in the outfield while Acuna is shelved, and Eli White should also see a boost in playing time.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Deemed day-to-day
Manager Walt Weiss said after Tuesday's game against the White Sox that Acuna is day-to-day with left hamstring tightness, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Acuna went on the injured list in early May due to a left hamstring strain, though Weiss noted that his latest injury doesn't seem to be as severe. The outfielder will undergo an MRI on Wednesday just in case. Eli White entered Tuesday's contest as Acuna's replacement and could be in line for additional starts if Acuna needs to miss another game or two.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Exits early with injury
Acuna exited Tuesday's contest against the White Sox in the fourth inning due to left hamstring tightness.
Acuna was busting it down the line in an attempt to secure an infield single in the top of the fourth inning, but he pulled up lame as he approached first base. The outfielder appeared to have tweaked his left leg in the process, and he was subsequently removed from the game. More information on Acuna's status will likely be provided in the near future, but in the meantime, Eli White has taken over in right field versus Chicago.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Running wild of late
Acuna went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in Thursday's loss to the Blue Jays.
The third-inning steal was Acuna's 14th of the season, with seven of them coming in the last eight games. Over that stretch, the 28-year-old superstar is slashing .296/.472/.889 with five homers, seven runs and nine RBI as he shows signs of regaining the pre-injury form that saw him deliver 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases in a historic 2023 regular-season campaign.

Acuna went 2-for-3 with a home run, two walks and two RBI in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Reds.
Acuna took Nick Lodolo deep to lead off the game, resulting in him homering in four straight games for the fourth time in his career. It's safe to say the 28-year-old is in a groove, as he's left the yard five times and stolen four bases during that four-game stretch. According to Mike Petraglia of MLB.com, he became just the fourth player in major-league history to accomplish that feat. For the year, the superstar is slashing .253/.380/.441 with seven long balls, 21 RBI, 27 runs scored and 12 steals across 208 plate appearances.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Goes yard again Friday

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Belts grand slam, swipes two bags
Acuna went 1-for-3 with a grand slam, two walks and two stolen bases in a 10-2 win against the Red Sox on Thursday.
Acuna drew a walk in two of his first three plate appearances and swiped a bag after each free pass. He then had the biggest swing of the game in the sixth inning, belting a 417-foot grand slam to expand Atlanta's lead from one run to five. The long ball was his first since April 24 -- a span of 16 contests. While Acuna's power hadn't been present of late, he's been increasingly more active on the basepaths, stealing three bags over his past two games and six total during the aforementioned 16-game stretch. His OPS still stands at an uncharacteristically low .720, but Acuna does have 10 thefts through 43 games after swiping just nine bags across 95 regular-season contests last year.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: In Atlanta lineup Friday
Acuna (thumb) will start in right field and bat leadoff in Friday's game against the Nationals.
Acuna had to depart Thursday's contest versus the Marlins with a left thumb bone bruise, but the injury will not force him to miss any starts. The 28-year-old has reached base six times in three games since returning from his hamstring injury earlier this week.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Dealing with bone bruise
Acuna suffered a bone bruise on his left thumb in Thursday's 9-3 win over Miami, Barrett Sallee of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.
Acuna left the game in the sixth inning, finishing his day 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored. The 28-year-old told Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com that he expects to play Friday against the Nationals and that the thumb swelled up after he was hit in a bad spot while catching a flyball earlier in the contest. Manager Walt Weiss explained after the game that he wasn't sure when exactly the injury happened, but that he thinks that Acuna is "going to be fine." The outfielder can be considered day-to-day ahead of Friday's series opener.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Removed early out of precaution
Acuna was removed from Thursday night's contest against the Marlins in the sixth inning with left thumb pain.
Acuna was replaced in right field by Eli White ahead of the bottom of the sixth frame, bringing his night to a premature end after he went 2-for-3 at the plate with two RBI and a run scored. The team described the decision to pull Acuna as a precautionary move, so fantasy managers can momentarily breathe a sigh of relief. More information on his status will likely be provided in the near future.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Scores three times in return
Acuna went 1-for-4 with two walks, a double and three runs scored in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Marlins.
Returning from a hamstring strain that sidelined him May 2, Acuna got the start at DH and made an impact as the leadoff hitter. The superstar outfielder had been showing signs of heating up prior to getting hurt, slashing .276/.394/.397 over his prior 16 games with four doubles and a homer, but with Drake Baldwin (oblique) now on the shelf, Atlanta may need Acuna to find his power stroke quickly.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Activated Monday after all
Atlanta activated Acuna (hamstring) from the 10-day injured list Monday.
Manager Walt Weiss had indicated earlier Monday that the club could wait until this weekend before reinstating Acuna, but Atlanta opted to activate the outfielder after he completed a full workout without issue Monday. He's not included in the lineup for Monday's series opener in Miami, but Acuna will be available off the bench and should return to the starting nine Tuesday. He's been out since early May with a strained hamstring.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Day-to-day, should be back Friday
Manager Walt Weiss said Monday that Acuna (hamstring) is viewed as day-to-day at this stage in his recovery, but Atlanta may wait until the start of its home series Friday versus the Nationals to activate the star outfielder from the injured list, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Though Acuna won't be reinstated ahead of Monday's series opener in Miami, Weiss said that the five-time All-Star hasn't been ruled out from returning for any of the final three games of the series versus the Marlins. That said, a weekend return appears more likely for Acuna, given that the synthetic turf at Miami's loanDepot Park could put added stress on the 28-year-old's legs. Acuna has been on the shelf since May 3 due to a Grade 1 left hamstring strain but should be ready to handle an everyday role in right field whenever he's activated.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Back in lineup at DH on Tuesday
Acuna will start at designated hitter and bat leadoff in Tuesday's game versus the Marlins.
Acuna was activated from the injured list ahead of Monday's series opener but did not play in the contest. He's back in there Tuesday and could be limited to DH duty for a bit as he returns from a hamstring strain. Jose Azocar is in right field for Atlanta on Tuesday.

Braves' Ronald Acuna: Could need another week
Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said Friday that Acuna (hamstring) likely won't be activated from the 10-day injured list until he can play the outfield, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
Weiss had already previously ruled out the possibility of Acuna returning this weekend. Bowman speculates that the club could be targeting May 22 -- which is the beginning of a brief three-game homestand -- for Acuna's return. The star outfielder has been sidelined since early May with a Grade 1 left hamstring strain.
