Ronald Acuna Jr. In Wednesday's Lineup
1 year agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (elbow) is right back in right field and in his customary leadoff spot on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie right-hander Quinn Priester after getting hit by a pitch on his left elbow in Tuesday's contest. X-rays came back negative for anything serious, though, which was a huge sigh of relief for the Braves and fantasy managers everywhere. The 25-year-old is one of the best players in baseball and needs to be in all starting fantasy lineups now that he's back in the lineup a day later. Acuna can do it all, as evidenced by his .339/.422/.587 slash line, 1.008 OPS, 26 home runs, 28 doubles, two triples and 68 RBI in 111 games. The four-time All-Star leads the league with 53 stolen bases, a .422 on-base percentage and 100 runs scored.
