Ronald Acuna Jr. Heading to Injured List With Right-Achilles Tightness
Ronald Acuna Jr. (Achilles) exited Tuesday night's 9-6 loss to the Royals with right-Achilles tightness. The team announced that Acuna Jr. would be placed on the injured list. He went 0-for-2 with a walk before exiting after showing discomfort in his at-bats. The 27-year-old has dealt with numerous similar injuries throughout his career and made just 222 plate appearances in 2024. This is unfortunate news for both the Braves and fantasy managers, as Acuna Jr. was slashing .306/.429/.577 with 14 home runs, 26 RBI, and four stolen bases in 238 plate appearances. Eli White replaced Acuna Jr., so he may see more playing time. However, fantasy managers will likely want to look elsewhere to try to find a replacement for Acuna Jr.
