Impact The 24-year-old isn't sporting a protective boot or crutches after fouling a ball off his foot Saturday, though he did enter the clubhouse Sunday using a medical scooter. Acuna appears to have avoided a serious injury, but how he progresses over the next couple days should dictate whether or not he'll require a brief trip to the injured list.

Sitting out series finale Acuna (foot) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Dodgers.

Impact Acuna fouled a ball off his foot early in Saturday's win over Los Angeles, and he played through the injury before being lifted in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old will remain on the bench Sunday and will also have Monday's scheduled off day to aid in his recovery. Marcell Ozuna will shift to the outfield while William Contreras serves as the designated hitter in the series finale.

Taking Thursday off Acuna is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact He'll be one of three Atlanta regulars sitting out in a day game after a night game, as Adam Duvall and Austin Riley are also joining Acuna on the bench.

Launches seventh home run Acuna went three-for-five with a home run, two runs scored and two RBI in a 12-10 loss to the Giants on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old star right fielder now has five home runs in June and is slashing .282/.375/.468 on the season. His elevated OBP suggests that he is seeing the ball well and he'll obviously continue to sit atop the Braves' quality lineup.
