Overview
- Ronald Acuña Jr. ran the bases as part of his rehab and has signaled he wants activation within days, but manager Walt Weiss says the team will wait until he can play the outfield.
- No return date is set, with Mark Bowman and other reports suggesting a possible timeline by next Friday that depends on his outfield work after an early May left hamstring strain.
- ClutchPoints reports he is unlikely to play in the upcoming Marlins series, citing his preference to avoid Miami’s synthetic turf as he works back from the injury.
- Atlanta has kept the majors’ best record at 32–15 with an eight-game NL East lead, which reduces pressure to rush the star outfielder.
- First baseman Matt Olson experienced brief elbow discomfort on a swing, and Weiss said it has not been a lingering issue and he does not expect Olson to miss time.
