Braves Place Acuña Jr. on 10-Day IL with Hamstring Strain

Acuña left Saturday night's game in the second inning after pulling up while running out a ground ball and grabbing at his hamstring. The five-time All-Star and 2023 NL MVP was batting .252 with two home runs, nine RBIs, and seven steals in 34 games this season.

Despite having the best record in baseball at 24-10, the Braves will be without one of their top players for now. The team activated right-hander Spencer Strider from the injured list to make his season debut after being sidelined with a strained oblique. chickenroadslot.lat
