Scratched from Thursday's lineup Acuna was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Mets with back tightness.

It's unclear how long he may be sidelined, but it's notable that he was sidelined with a similar issue within the past week. Ehire Adrianza will hit leadoff and play in right field in his place.
