Ronald Acuna Jr. Taking Another Game Off
4 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) is still dealing with back tightness and will receive another day off on Thursday against the Cincinnati Reds. Acuna remains day-to-day for now, and fantasy managers will be hoping that he can return to action on Friday. Outfielder Guillermo Heredia (wrists) is also out again on Thursday, but he is available to pinch hit, if needed. Acuna, 23, is one of the best all-around players in the game, so fantasy managers are crossing their fingers that he won't need a trip to the injured list. He's slashing a healthy .285/.394/.602 with a .996 OPS, 20 home runs, and 45 RBI in 297 plate appearances. Acuna currently leads the league in stolen bases (15) and runs scored (58).
