Ronald Acuna Jr. Unlikely to Return on Wednesday
Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (hamstring) is progressing well from his hamstring strain, but he still has boxes to check before being activated from the 10-day injured list, according to Grant McAuley of 929 The Game. It doesn't sound like Acuna will come off the IL when he's first eligible on Wednesday. The Braves put Acuna on the IL on May 3 with a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He has been doing agility and baseball activities, though, and it doesn't sound like he'll need to go on a minor-league rehab assignment before he returns to the big-league lineup. The 28-year-old former MVP and five-time All-Star should remain rostered in all fantasy leagues until he's ready to be activated. Although he has hit a mediocre .252/.362/.378 with a .740 OPS in 127 at-bats in 2026, Acuna is a five-category contributor and a potential league-winner when he's right. The left-handed-hitting Mike Yasrzemski should continue to play regularly against right-handed pitchers until Acuna returns to Atlanta.
