Wed Jun 29 202215:04Ronald Acuna Jr. Still Missing From Lineup
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Acuna hasn't played since fouling a ball off his foot last Saturday, and although X-rays were negative for any fractures, he's missed three straight games and could still wind up on the injured list if he doesn't improve soon. The 24-year-old remains in Atlanta to receive treatment, but his fantasy managers will be hoping that he can join the team in Cincinnati for a series against the Reds this weekend. Adam Duvall is in right field again while hitting seventh on Wednesday, and Travis d'Arnaud will serve as the designated hitter and bat second against Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez.

Tue Jun 28 202215:17Ronald Acuna Jr. Still Out Tuesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Tuesday against the division-rival Philadelphia Phillies. Acuna fouled a ball off his left foot on Saturday and hasn't played since, and Monday's off day wasn't enough to get him past the injury. The 24-year-old superstar just can't seem to get past injuries in 2022, and his latest foot ailment could put him on the injured list. Acuna doesn't have a fracture in his foot, but he's using a medical scooter to get around at the moment. If you have him rostered, plan for the worst. With Acuna out again on Tuesday, Mike Ford enters the lineup as the designated hitter and is batting sixth against Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler. Ford has already been with three teams this year and has gone 6-for-33 (.182) with no home runs and five RBI in 18 games played with the Braves, Giants and Mariners.

Sun Jun 26 202217:32Ronald Acuna Jr. Doesn't Have A Fracture
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (foot) requested a medical scooter because he can't put much pressure on his injured left foot, but he doesn't have a fracture and isn't using a protective boot or crutches. Acuna said he hopes to be back in a couple of days, but that any possible injured list decision isn't up to him. The Braves are being extra cautious with the All-Star outfielder after he fouled a ball off his foot on Saturday, and he's out of the lineup for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 24-year-old could miss a couple more games, but fantasy managers just hope he doesn't need to go on the IL. Acuna is hitting a strong .281/.372/.455 with an .828 OPS, seven homers, 18 RBI, 28 runs scored and 13 stolen bases this year. Adam Duvall is in right field and is hitting eighth on Sunday against Dodgers right-hander Tony Gonsolin.

Adam Duvall is also getting a day of rest for the Braves in the matinee game. Acuna got a late start to the season due to injury, but he's still a must-start fantasy asset when he's on the field, and he's hitting .275/.367/.456 with an .823 OPS, seven home runs, 18 RBI, 26 runs scored and 12 stolen bases in 41 games. Riley has been an excellent source of power with 18 home runs, an .836 OPS, 41 RBI and 39 runs scored in 69 games for the Braves. Guillermo Heredia is in right field and is hitting eighth on Thursday against Giants left-hander Alex Wood. William Contreras will serve as the designated hitter and bat fifth, while Orlando Arcia will play third base and hit sixth.

Tue Jun 21 202214:27Ronald Acuna Jr. Once Again Producing At Elite Level
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is enjoying another highly productive season at the plate. The outfielder is batting .272 with a .369 on-base percentage, six home runs, and 12 stolen bases in 179 plate appearances so far. Entering play on Tuesday, Acuna was one of just nine outfielders to register at least five home runs and 10 stolen bases this season. With the ability to provide elite home run and stolen base totals, the 24-year-old should continue to be one of the best fantasy options at his position for the rest of the season.

Thu Jun 2 202218:05Ronald Acuna Jr. Returns As Designated Hitter
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is back in the starting lineup as the designated hitter and is batting in his usual leadoff spot on Thursday against Colorado Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. Acuna was held out of Wednesday's game with undisclosed soreness, and it's unknown if it was related to a quadriceps injury that kept him out for three straight games last week. In any event, the 24-year-old superstar is back in the lineup, and fantasy managers need to return him to their starting lineups immediately. Injuries have limited him to just 81 at-bats in 2022, but he's been excellent when on the field, hitting .284/.394/.432 with an .826 OPS, two home runs, 10 RBI, 13 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 22 games.

Wed Jun 1 202214:37Ronald Acuna Jr. Dealing With Soreness
Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks because he came in a little sore. The Braves are maintaining a day-to-day approach. Acuna missed three games last week with a right quadriceps injury, but it's uncertain if his soreness is related to that injury or his surgically repaired right knee that delayed his start to the 2022 season. Hopefully, this doesn't turned into an extended absence from one of the best players in baseball. When on the field this year, the 24-year-old superstar has been great, hitting .284/.394/.432 with an .826 OPS, two home runs, 10 RBI and nine stolen bases in 81 at-bats. Guillermo Heredia is starting in right field and hitting eighth on Wednesday against Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner.

Wed Jun 1 202214:15Ronald Acuna Jr. Getting A Day Off
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Acuna missed three straight games with a strained quadriceps muscle last week, but this appears to be just a regular day of rest. He's played in only 22 games this year due to injury, but Acuna remains a must-start fantasy player when he's on the field, as he's hitting .284/.394/.432 with an .826 OPS, two home runs, 10 RBI, 13 runs scored and nine stolen bases in 99 plate appearances. Guillermo Heredia is getting the start in right field and is hitting eighth on Wednesday against Diamondbacks left-hander Madison Bumgarner. Heredia has gone 4-for-39 (.103) in 28 games and should be avoided in DFS.

Sat May 28 202212:23Ronald Acuna Jr. Back In Lineup Saturday
After pinch-hitting on Friday night, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (quadriceps) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff. Acuna hit a game-tying RBI double against Miami as a pinch-hitter on Friday, but the Braves don't feel comfortable putting him back in the outfield just yet. Outfield prospect Michael Harris will make his big-league debut in center field while hitting ninth. Acuna missed the team's last three games, but fantasy managers will want to get the 24-year-old superstar back into all lineups. He's dealt with groin and quad issues since getting a late start to the season, but Acuna is still hitting .303/.407/.470 with an .877 OPS, two home runs, nine RBI, 11 runs and eight stolen bases in 66 at-bats.

Thu May 26 202223:12Ronald Acuna Jr. Won't Play Friday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (quadriceps) will not play again on Friday against the Miami Marlins, according to manager Brian Snitker. Acuna will miss his third straight game with a strained quadriceps, and it remains to be seen if this will be an injury that puts him on the injured list. The 24-year-old superstar outfielder continues to be plagued by lower-body injuries this year after getting a late start to the campaign while recovering from a torn ACL that he suffered in 2021. Guillermo Heredia should continue to start in Atlanta's outfield until Acuna returns from his quad injury. Acuna has been his usual elite self in his 17 games, slashing .292/.400/.446 with an .846 OPS, two home runs, eight RBI, 10 runs scored and eight stolen bases in 80 plate appearances.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (quad) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Philadelphia Phillies. The superstar outfielder is reportedly dealing with tightness in his quad. This is believed to be a minor injury, so the 24-year-old isn't expected to miss much time. Orlando Arcia will be his replacement during Wednesday's contest. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat eighth versus lefty Ranger Suarez. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as this sounds like a minor issue for Acuna.

Wed May 18 202211:33Ronald Acuna Jr. Back In Right Field Wednesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (groin) is back in right field and is batting leadoff on Wednesday against Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Corbin Burnes. Acuna returned to the starting lineup as the designated hitter on Tuesday after missing the previous five games due to a sore groin. The 24-year-old superstar reached base three times in his return and recorded his sixth steal of the year, so obviously his groin isn't much of an issue. The fact that he's back in the outfield on Wednesday is another sign that he's just find from a health standpoint. Keep Acuna in all starting fantasy lineups. Acuna is hitting .286/.412/.476 with an .888 OPS, two home runs, five RBI and six stolen bases in his first 11 games this season.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (groin) has returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Adrian Houser.

Travis Demeritte will remain in right field and will hit sixth in the batting order against Milwaukee. Acuna has played in only 10 games this year after getting a late start while recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season, but he's hitting .282/.391/.487 in his first 46 plate appearances with two home runs, five RBI, four runs scored and five stolen bases. Hopefully his lower-body issue won't prevent him from running on the base paths, but even if it does, the 24-year-old superstar is a must-start.

Mon May 16 202218:10Ronald Acuna Jr. Likely To Return On Tuesday
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (groin) ran the bases ahead of Monday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Braves manager Brian Snitker stated that Acuna passed all the tests in his base running and in his other exercises on Monday. If Acuna recovers from Monday's workouts well, he is likely to return to action on Tuesday. Monday's game will be Acuna's fifth consecutive missed game due to a groin injury. Fantasy managers in weekly-lock leagues would be wise to slide Acuna into their lineups ahead of Monday night's action. Even if he misses a few games this week, he's still too valuable to keep on the bench.

Mon May 16 202217:06Ronald Acuna Jr. Missing Fifth Straight Game
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (groin) is out of the starting lineup yet again on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 24-year-old superstar remains day-to-day, but this will be his fifth straight game on the bench due to a groin injury. The Braves are understandably being cautious with Acuna, even though his MRI exam came back clean over the weekend. Travis Demeritte is in right field and batting leadoff, while Orlando Arcia is the designated hitter and is batting ninth against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta on Monday. Acuna has played in only 10 games this year while getting a late start to the season as he recovered from a torn ACL last year, but he's hit well when he's been on the field, going 11-for-39 with two home runs, five RBI and five stolen bases.

Atlanta Braves Ronald Acuna Jr. (groin) underwent an MRI on Saturday, returning negative. He is "day-to-day" with groin soreness. "It's the best news possible," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. "There was nothing big. He's just going to be day-to-day. I don't know how long it will be. But there's nothing from the MRI that showed he's going to be shut down." His surgically repaired knee hasn't been a problem. Acuna is not expected to play in the series finale against the San Diego Padres but could return Monday versus the Milwaukee Brewers. Fantasy managers will have Acuna back sometime next week. William Contreras has served as the team's designated hitter for the last two games while Acuna has been sidelined.
