Placed on 10-day IL Inciarte was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain Saturday.

Impact Inciarte was removed from Friday's game after he pulled up with a hamstring injury while running the bases. It's not yet clear exactly how much time Inciarte could miss, but Guillermo Heredia is starting in center field against the Cubs on Saturday and could see increased playing time going forward with Inciarte and Cristian Pache (groin) sidelined.

Dealing with hamstring issue Inciarte exited Friday's game against the Cubs with a left hamstring injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Impact Inciarte pulled up with the injury while running the bases. It's unclear how much time he's expected to miss. He'd been forced into the starting lineup due to Cristian Pache's groin injury, so Atlanta is already running a bit thin on outfield options. It's not yet clear how much time Inciarte is expected to miss.

Exits with injury Inciarte left Friday's game against the Cubs with an apparent injury, 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

Impact The nature and severity of Inciarte's injury are not yet clear. He was expected to be mostly a bench player this season but had recently moved into the starting lineup when Cristian Pache (groin) landed on the injured list. Guillermo Heredia is the next man up in center shoulder Inciarte be forced to miss time, though Atlanta could also shift Ronald Acuna to center and Austin Riley to right, opening up starts at third base instead.

Filling in for Pache Inciarte will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Marlins.

Impact With Atlanta placing Cristian Pache (groin) on the injured list Wednesday, Inciarte looks poised to receive the majority of the starts in center field in the short term. The lefty-hitting Inciarte could end up filling the strong side of a platoon at the position with the right-handed Guillermo Heredia, who was recalled from Atlanta's alternate site after Pache was placed on the IL.

Beginning season in backup role Inciarte is out of the lineup for Thursday's season opener against the Phillies, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Impact As expected, Inciarte will serve as Atlanta's fourth outfielder to begin the season while Cristian Pache takes over as the team's everyday center fielder. Inciarte's playing-time outlook took a major hit after MLB opted not to use a universal designated hitter in 2021, as Marcell Ozuna now appears set to play the outfield on a full-time basis.

Rejoins spring lineup Inciarte (thumb) will start in center field and will bat seventh in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Impact Inciarte will check back into Atlanta's spring lineup for the first time since March 4 after missing time due to a sore thumb. The 30-year-old appears to have lost ground in his battle with Cristian Pache for the top job in center field, but Inciarte should still be in good position to make the Braves' Opening Day roster as a fourth outfielder.
