Braves Eye Wednesday Return for Ronald Acuña Jr. After Hamstring Strain

Overview

• Manager Walt Weiss said there is a very good chance Acuña will be activated Wednesday, which is the first day he is eligible to come off the 10-day injured list.
• Acuña completed on-field agility and hamstring tests before the Dodgers game, with reporters noting he moved well during the session.
• Atlanta placed the star right fielder on the injured list earlier this week with a Grade 1 strain in his left hamstring.
• The Braves are expected to manage his workload if he returns quickly, since soft-tissue injuries can flare if a player ramps up too fast.
• A midweek activation would give the lineup an immediate lift as Atlanta looks to stabilize results during his brief absence.
