Braves place Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a strained hamstring

The Atlanta Braves have placed star right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list because of a strained left hamstring

3 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Dealing with Grade 1 strain Manager Walt Weiss said Sunday that Acuna is dealing with a Grade 1 strain of his left hamstring, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact The 28-year-old outfielder was placed on the injured list earlier Sunday after sustaining the injury during Saturday's matchup with the Rockies, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. Acuna is without an official timeline for his return, but the encouraging diagnosis could mean that his absence isn't a lengthy one.

Lands on IL with hamstring strain Atlanta placed Acuna on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to a left hamstring strain.

Impact Acuna was lifted from Saturday's 9-1 win over the Rockies in the second inning due to hamstring tightness, prompting Atlanta to send him in for an MRI following the game. Though Atlanta hasn't announced the results of his imaging, the club quickly determined that Acuna's injury was significant enough to keep him out for at least the next week and a half. Atlanta called up Jose Azocar from Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move, but Eli White and Mauricio Dubon are the more likelier candidates to see added reps in the outfield while Acuna is shelved.

Will undergo MRI on hamstring Manager Walt Weiss said Saturday that Acuna will undergo an MRI on his injured left hamstring, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Acuna grounded out in the second inning Saturday against Colorado and came up limping after taking off out of the batter's box. He was immediately removed from the game and will now undergo further testing. It certainly didn't have the look of an injury that is going to allow Acuna to play Sunday versus the Rockies. With Michael Harris already battling a quad issue of his own, Atlanta was forced to start Mauricio Dubon in center field Saturday. Eli White replaced Acuna in right field following his injury.

Leaves game with hamstring injury Acuna was removed in the second inning of Saturday's game against the Rockies due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact Acuna came out limping out of the batters box after a groundball out in the second inning and was taken out of the game shortly after. Atlanta should have another update on the superstar outfielder's hamstring during or shortly after Saturday's game once he undergoes further tests on the injury. Eli White is in at right field following Acuna's exit.

On base three times in win Acuna went 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base in Friday's win over the Rockies.

Impact The star outfielder produced his third multi-hit performance in the last five games as he continues to tease a breakout. Acuna hasn't gone a prolonged hot streak yet in 2026, slashing .248/.360/.376 with two homers, nine RBI and 16 runs in 33 games, but seven steals in 11 attempts is at least a strong sign his knees are feeling 100 percent healthy.

Pair of doubles Tuesday Acuna went 2-for-4 with two doubles, one RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Tigers.

Impact Acuna led off the bottom of the first with a double and then doubled home a run in the third inning, getting the best of Casey Mize both times before the right-hander was lifted with groin tightness. Acuna has posted back-to-back two-hit games, as his bat is starting to heat up after an extremely slow start to the season. He's slashing .248/.360/.381 with just two homers, nine RBI, 15 runs scored, six stolen bases and an 18:26 BB:K across 136 plate appearances.

Swipes sixth bag Acuna went 2-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's win over the Phillies.

Impact The steal was Acuna's sixth of the season in 29 games, albeit in 10 attempts. While it's encouraging to see the 28-year-old outfielder running more freely -- it took him 95 games to record 10 SB attempts in 2025 -- Acuna's bat hasn't gotten going yet, as he's slashing .239/.356/.358 with two homers, eight RBI and 14 runs.
