SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 • Associated Press

Expected back Friday Acuna (hamstring) is feeling good despite being out of the lineup Wednesday and is expected to return Friday against the Nationals, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact Acuna sits for the third straight day with right hamstring tightness Wednesday, but it appears as though he's essentially over the issue.

Impact Acuna has been sidelined with a tight right hamstring since leaving Sunday's game against the Phillies with the injury. The issue doesn't seem particularly serious, but the Braves have a scheduled off day Thursday, so they can get their young star a full four days to rest by keeping him on the bench in this one. Ender Inciarte remains the starter in center field.

Blasts fifth homer Acuna went 2-for-5 with a solo homer, an additional run scored, a walk and a stolen base during Wednesday's doubleheader sweep of the Yankees.

Impact The 22-year-old did most of his damage during the matinee, as he crushed a 473-foot homer during his first at-bat and stole second base after earning a walk during the third inning. It was Acuna's first game action since Aug. 10 after battling the wrist injury, and it's a good sign he was able to play both games of the twin bill in their entirety.

AUGUST 15, 2020 • THESCORE.COM

Heading to IL Acuna will be placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to Aug. 10, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Acuna, who will be eligible to return Aug. 21, was reportedly still sore when he came into the stadium Saturday and the team felt it would not be smart to try and push its young superstar through the injury.

According to David O'Brien of The Athletic, Wednesday's MRI came back clean, and revealed Acuna only dealing with some irritation. Ender Inciarte and Adam Duvall should continue to see more consistent starts in the outfield for the Braves in the meantime.
