The Atlanta Braves received some unfortunate news when outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was placed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain earlier this week. However, he is eligible to return on Wednesday, and Mark Bowman of MLB.com reported that a timely return is plausible.
Acuña was seen doing some agility exercises ahead of Friday night’s game, which was a great sign for the team who is typically riddled with injury.
If Acuña is able to return as soon as Wednesday, it would provide a major boost for Atlanta as the Braves look to stay atop the National League standings.
