Atlanta Braves expect Ronald Acuña Jr. to return Wednesday after hamstring injury

Ronald Acuña Jr., the Atlanta Braves' star outfielder, is projected to rejoin the lineup on Wednesday following a hamstring injury he sustained while playing in Colorado. The Braves recently placed infielder Eli White on the injured list, and with a $23 million veteran outfielder struggling early in the season, the team is expected to demote that player to make room for Acuña’s comeback.

According to reports, Acuña completed agility drills during a recent three‑game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, signaling that he is near full fitness and that the Braves have not ruled out his return.

The roster move underscores the club’s urgency to restore its offensive strength as the regular season progresses.
