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.

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.

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.

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.
