Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Lower Back Tightness
4 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Wednesday against the New York Mets with lower back tightness. For now, fantasy managers should consider Acuna day-to-day, but this is obviously something worth watching very closely. The 23-year-old superstar is hitting .285/.394/.602 with 20 home runs, 58 runs scored, 45 RBI and 15 stolen bases on the season. Shortstop Dansby Swanson has been moved from sixth to leadoff in the batting order on Wednesday while facing Mets right-hander Tylor Megill, giving him more DFS appeal. Swanson is hitting just .227 (17-for-75) this month, but he did hit his 12th home run of the season on Tuesday. Ehire Adrianza is replacing Acuna in right field and is hitting sixth.
