Considered day-to-day Acuna (abdomen) is considered day-to-day, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Acuna underwent an MRI on Monday after leaving Sunday's game against the Cubs with an abdominal strain. The test evidently didn't reveal any serious injury. Acuna won't start Tuesday's game against the Yankees, and the team has yet to decide whether or not he'll play Wednesday, but he should be back in the lineup before too long.

Escapes with day-to-day injury Acuna was diagnosed with nothing worse than a mild abdominal strain and is considered day-to-day after undergoing an MRI on Monday.

Impact Losing Acuna, who left Sunday's game against the Cubs with the injury, would be a massive blow for Atlanta, as he's hitting .419 with seven homers and three steals through his first 16 games. Thankfully, he's avoided any serious injury, though it's not yet clear if he'll be in the lineup Tuesday against the Yankees following Monday's off day. The two-game series will take place at Yankee Stadium under American League rules, opening up a path for Acuna to serve as a designated hitter if he's ready to hit but not take the field.

Follow-up tests await Acuna is scheduled to undergo tests Monday in New York as Atlanta looks to gain more clarity on the severity of the abdominal strain he suffered in the fourth inning of Sunday's 13...

Impact Though Acuna will be with Atlanta's traveling party, his status for the club's two-game Tuesday/Wednesday series against the Yankees is uncertain. Expect Atlanta to provide an update on the superstar outfielder prior to Tuesday's series opener, but fantasy managers who have to set their weekly lineups Monday may be best off parking Acuna on the bench. Atlanta only plays five games this week, and there's a strong likelihood that the 23-year-old misses at least one of those contests.

Ronald Acuna Jr. injury update: Braves star to be examined after suffering abdominal strain The star outfielder left the Braves' Sunday night game against the Cubs.

APRIL 19, 2021 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Diagnosed with abdominal strain Acuna was diagnosed with an abdominal strain Sunday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact Acuna left Sunday's game against the Cubs in the middle of the fourth inning after he appeared to suffer the injury on a pickoff attempt. The team won't know until Monday whether the 23-year-old will need to spend time on the injured list. If Acuna does require an IL stint, Austin Riley and Guillermo Heredia could see extra playing time in right field.

Dealing with abdominal issue Acuna left Sunday's game against the Cubs with pain in his lower abdominal muscles, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact Acuna appeared to suffer the injury during a pickoff attempt in the top of the fourth inning Sunday, and he was replaced defensively in the bottom of the inning. It's not yet clear whether the issue will impact Acuna's availability for Tuesday's series opener against the Yankees. Austin Riley and Guillermo Heredia are candidates to step in as the right fielder if Acuna is forced to miss additional time.

Exits with apparent injury Acuna was removed from Sunday's game against the Cubs with an apparent injury, Buster Olney of ESPN reports.

Impact Acuna appeared to be in pain while running the bases in the top of the fourth inning and was visited by a trainer. Although he initially remained in the game, he was removed from the contest at the end of the half inning after he slid into home. Prior to his departure, Acuna went 0-for-2 with a walk, one run and one strikeout. The nature and severity of Acuna's injury aren't yet known.

Goes yard twice in loss Acuna went 3-for-5 with a double, two home runs, three runs scored and four RBI in Wednesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

Impact The 23-year-old was basically a one-man show for the Atlanta offense, but his efforts weren't quite enough to drag his club into the win column. Acuna has a six-game hit- and run-scoring streak going, and he's slashing an eye-popping .447/.500/1.000 with six homers, three steals, 12 RBI and 15 runs over his first 12 games of the season.

On base four times Monday Acuna went 1-for-2 with a triple, three walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Monday's loss to the Marlins.

Impact Miami's pitchers did their best not to give the red-hot Acuna anything to hit, but he still did plenty of damage all the same. The 23-year-old now boasts a 1.447 OPS with four homers, three steals, eight RBI and 10 runs through the first 10 games of the season.
