Ender Inciarte Likely Heading To IL With Hamstring Strain
4 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (hamstring) will likely be placed on the injured list with a hamstring strain, according to David O'Brien of The Athletic. Inciarte suffered the injury in the fourth inning while going from first to third on a double by pitcher Kyle Wright. This injury comes days after the Braves placed outfielder Cristian Pache (groin) on the 10-day injured list, and now they are down to Guillermo Heredia and Ronald Acuna Jr. in the outfield. O'Brien adds that the team would need to add another outfielder to the 40-man roster, or turn to utility players Johan Camargo or Ehire Adrianza as short term fixes. Inciarte hasn't shown much at the plate so far this season, slashing .294/.368/.353 with one double and three runs scored in 12 games.
