Braves Reinstate Ronald Acuna, Jr. (Hamstring) Ahead of Schedule

Ronald Acuña Jr. is back on the active roster, and the Braves say he is available off the bench after a Grade 1 hamstring strain.

  • On Monday, the Atlanta Braves activated outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. from the 10-day injured list ahead of their series opener against the Miami Marlins, making him available off the bench.
  • Acuña suffered a Grade 1 left hamstring strain on May 2 in Colorado, sidelining the five-time All-Star and 2023 National League MVP since May 3.
  • Braves manager Walt Weiss cited the turf at Miami's loanDepot Park as a factor in managing Acuña's workload, while the club placed infielder Kyle Farmer on the 10-day injured list with a strained right forearm.
  • Acuña, who is batting.252 with two home runs and nine RBIs this year, said in Spanish he is "Super happy to once again return to the field."
  • Weiss expects the right fielder to return to the starting lineup on Tuesday as Atlanta holds a 32-15 record and sits atop the National League East.
