Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Back Tightness
3 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday due to mid-back tightness. It's not the first time that Acuna has dealt with back issues, but the good news is that he's available to pinch hit against the division-rival New York Mets. The 23-year-old is one of the best all-around players in the game, so hopefully this doesn't turn into something that keeps him out longer. Fantasy managers will be crossing their fingers. Ehire Adrianza will get the start in right field and will hit leadoff on Thursday against Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom. Adrianza has more DFS appeal as a deep sleeper in the leadoff spot, but he's also facing the best pitcher on the planet in deGrom.
