Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies meet in game 2 of series

The Atlanta Braves bring a 1-0 lead into the next game of the series against the Philadelphia Phillies

JUNE 29, 2022 • Associated Press

Away for treatment Acuna (foot) remained in Atlanta for treatment while his teammates travelled to Philadelphia on Tuesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Acuna left Saturday's game against the Dodgers after fouling a ball off his foot and will miss at least two games. While he avoided a fracture, his expected return date is unclear, and this latest report indicates that the issue is serious enough for him to remain home for extra treatment. Manager Brian Snitker indicated his star outfielder could be back with his teammates as soon as Wednesday, however.

Won't start Tuesday Acuna (foot) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

Impact Even after an off day Monday, Acuna's absence from the lineup for a second straight game comes as no major surprise after he was using a medical scooter to get around the Atlanta clubhouse during Sunday's series finale with the Dodgers. Acuna fouled a ball off his left foot in Saturday's 5-3 win and avoided a fracture, but he's not yet putting much pressure on the bruised foot and could require a trip to the 10-day injured list. Atlanta may want to wait and see how much progress Acuna makes, if any, over the next day or two before determining if he'll need to go on the IL. Mike Ford will enter the lineup in Acuna's stead Tuesday.

Avoids fracture, status uncertain Acuna, who is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers, isn't dealing with a fracture but can't put much pressure on his left foot, and he hopes to be cleared to pla...

Impact The 24-year-old isn't sporting a protective boot or crutches after fouling a ball off his foot Saturday, though he did enter the clubhouse Sunday using a medical scooter. Acuna appears to have avoided a serious injury, but how he progresses over the next couple days should dictate whether or not he'll require a brief trip to the injured list.

Sitting out series finale Acuna (foot) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Acuna fouled a ball off his foot early in Saturday's win over Los Angeles, and he played through the injury before being lifted in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old will remain on the bench Sunday and will also have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery. Marcell Ozuna will shift to the outfield while William Contreras serves as the designated hitter in the series finale.

Dealing with sore foot Acuna left Saturday's victory over the Dodgers early after fouling a ball off his foot, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Acuna was replaced in the field by Guillermo Heredia in the top of the ninth inning after he fouled a ball off his foot earlier in the game. Manager Brian Snitker said after the game that he was removed for precautionary reasons and did not suffer a fracture. Acuna can be considered day-to-day heading into Sunday's series finale.

Is Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., a year after ACL injury, fully back?

Is Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr., a year after ACL injury, fully back?

Taking Thursday off Acuna is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact He'll be one of three Atlanta regulars sitting out in a day game after a night game, as Adam Duvall and Austin Riley are also joining Acuna on the bench. Acuna had started in every contest for Atlanta since June 2, slashing .266/.337/.481 with five home runs and three stolen bases over that 19-game stretch.

JUNE 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Launches seventh home run Acuna went three-for-five with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in a 12-10 loss to the Giants on Tuesday.

Impact Acuna has been excellent since being activated from the injured list with a long-term knee injury at the end of April. The 24-year-old star right fielder now has five home runs in June and is slashing .282/.375/.468 on the season. His elevated OBP suggests that he is seeing the ball well and he'll obviously continue to sit atop the Braves' quality lineup.

Clubs sixth homer Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a hit by pitch and an additional run scored in Saturday's 10-4 win over the Pirates.

The outfielder owns a strong .316/.411/.538 slash line with 16 RBI, 24 runs scored and 11 stolen bases through 31 contests.

Impact Acuna led off the bottom of the first inning with a solo home run, then hit another solo shot in the third. He went nearly a month without a home run, but has now hit three in his last two games. Despite what many would consider a disappointing home run total for the righty in 2022, Acuna is slashing an excellent .320/.411/.534.
