Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. Placed on IL With Achilles Inflammation, to Undergo MRI

Set to replace injured Acuna in RF Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said after Tuesday's 9-6 loss to the Royals that White will take over as the team's primary right fielder after Ronald Acuna exited the contest with r...

Impact Though Acuna appears to have avoided a rupture of his Achilles tendon, he's still likely to miss more than the minimum 10 days after Atlanta officially placed him on the injured list Wednesday. Atlanta recalled Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Gwinnett to provide another option in the outfield while Acuna is out, but given Kelenic's tepid production in the big leagues and minors this season, White should be first in line to fill in for the star right fielder. White has proven serviceable when given meaningful playing time with Atlanta this season; he'll head into Wednesday's series finale in Kansas City having maintained a .255/.297/.391 slash line to go with four home runs and seven stolen bases over 196 plate appearances.

Prevents shutout Tuesday White went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 10-1 loss to the Athletics.

Impact White got Atlanta on the board in the fifth inning. This was White's first homer since June 9 versus the Brewers, and his first hit of any kind since June 27 versus the Phillies. He sees most of his time against left-handed pitchers, but he's been unable to carve out even a firm short-side platoon role in Atlanta's outfield -- he was only in the lineup Tuesday because Ronald Acuna (back) was scratched just before the game. White is batting .242 with a .664 OPS, four homers, 17 RBI, 27 runs scored and five stolen bases over 189 plate appearances this season.

Losing work to Verdugo White is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

Impact After a brief run as Atlanta's primary left fielder, White appears to have slipped back into a short-side platoon role. He'll be on the bench for the fifth straight matchup versus a right-handed pitcher, with Alex Verdugo having started in left field in each of those contests. Both Verdugo and White are expected to see their opportunities in the outfield dwindle once Jurickson Profar (suspension) is cleared to return from the restricted list July 2.

Sitting again Thursday White isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

Impact White will concede a second consecutive start in left field to Alex Verdugo after the latter went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's victory. The two players are likely to see a sizable drop in playing time relatively soon with Jurickson Profar less than two weeks away from completing his 80-game suspension.

Impact White went 2-for-5 while starting both of Atlanta's last two games in left field, but he'll give way to Alex Verdugo on Wednesday. Both White and Verdugo are likely to see their opportunities dwindle beginning July 2, when Jurickson Profar will be eligible to return after serving an 80-game suspension.
