Braves Place Acuña on 10-Day IL

The Atlanta Braves placed star right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a strained left hamstring.

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

The Braves, who own the best record in baseball at 24-10, activated right-hander Spencer Strider from the injured list prior to Sunday's start. Strider, sidelined with a strained oblique, was set to make his season debut. biznow.biz
