  Ronald Acuna Jr. Getting The Day Off Wednesday

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is getting the day off on Wednesday against the Miami Marlins in the regular season finale after the Braves clinched the National League East title on Tuesday night. After winning the division, the Braves will get a first-round bye and won't play again until next week for the start of the NL Division Series. Acuna dealt with various injuries in 2022 and played in 119 games, but he still managed to pick up his third All-Star nod and finishes the regular season with a .266/.351/.413 slash line to go with 15 home runs, 50 RBI, 71 runs and 29 stolen bases in 467 at-bats. Robbie Grossman will start in right field on Wednesday and hit seventh against Marlins right-hander Elieser Hernandez.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Returns To Starting Lineup Monday

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) is back in right field and is hitting leadoff on Monday against the Washington Nationals and right-hander Cory Abbott. Acuna hadn't started the team's previous four games due to mid-back tightness, but he had two at-bats as a pinch-hitter on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies and is now back in there for fantasy managers to begin the week. Get the 24-year-old All-Star back into all starting lineups in season-long leagues. In 19 games so far in September, he's gone 20-for-76 (.263) with two home runs, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases. The fact that he's back in right field means that his back issues are hopefully a thing of the past.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Appears As Pinch-Hitter Sunday

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) went 1-for-1 with an RBI, run scored and a walk in two plate appearances as a pinch-hitter off the bench in Sunday's 8-7 extra-inning win over the Philadelphia Phillies. The 24-year-old has been dealing with mid-back tightness and hasn't started a game for the Braves since Sept. 21, but the fact that he entered the game on Sunday and got two at-bats is a good sign that he might be able to return on Monday for the start of a series against the Washington Nationals. He's been in and out of the lineup at times this year due to various injuries. Acuna is hitting .263 (20-for-76) with two home runs, 11 RBI, nine runs scored and three stolen bases in 19 games in September.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Out On Friday

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Acuna missed the game on Thursday with mid-back tightness and will now miss his second straight game. It remains to be seen if he'll be available at all this weekend against Philadelphia, but fantasy managers will be hoping that the All-Star outfielder will be able to return soon. Robbie Grossman is back in right field and is hitting ninth on Friday against Phillies right-hander Aaron Nola. The 33-year-old veteran slugger won't have much DFS upside in the nine-hole, and he's hitting just .210/.312/.313 on the season with seven home runs, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and six stolen bases in 390 at-bats.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Iffy To Start Friday

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched ahead of Thursday's contest versus the Phillies and the club is "unsure" about his availability for Friday's matchup. The 24-year-old felt some mid-back tightness following batting practice, and manager Brian Snitker stated that something "banged on him" after hitting in the cage afterwards. It's a situation to monitor for fantasy managers heading into the weekend, so be sure to check back for an update prior to tomorrow's game.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Back Tightness Thursday

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies with mid-back tightness. Until we know more about Acuna's condition, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Robbie Grossman is moving to right field and will bat ninth, while Marcell Ozuna is now starting in left field and hitting eighth against Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez. Hopefully, Ozuna's injury isn't serious enough to keep him out for the remainder of the 2022 regular season as the Braves try to take the National League East division from the New York Mets. Stay tuned for more information on Acuna's injury later on Thursday night or early Friday.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Returns To The Starting Lineup

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies and right-hander Ryan Feltner, serving as the designated hitter and batting in his customary leadoff spot. Acuna will return to action after missing the last three games with right knee pain. Fantasy managers will want to get him back into their starting lineups in all formats. The 24-year-old superstar will look to stretch his modest hitting streak to six games. Acuna is hitting a strong .319 (29-for-91) with two home runs, 12 RBI, 17 runs scored and three stolen bases in 24 games in the month of August.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Isn't Starting Tuesday

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) isn't in the team's lineup on Tuesday for a matchup with the Colorado Rockies and right-handed starter Jose Urena. The 24-year-old is hitting .274 with a .367 on-base percentage, 10 home runs, and 25 stolen bases in 411 plate appearances this season. Instead, Robbie Grossman will start in right field and bat ninth against the Rockies. The veteran is hitting .226 with a .304 on-base percentage, two home runs, and a stolen base in 69 plate appearances since joining Atlanta via a trade with the Detroit Tigers. He could be worth a look as a streaming option on Tuesday for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

  Ronald Acuna Jr. Remains Out Of The Lineup

  Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The organization had Acuna sit out Saturday as well, so clearly they want him to get some extra rest. It doesn't sound like the 24-year-old is dealing with an injury. Robbie Grossman will cover right field and bat ninth against right-hander Adam Wainwright on Sunday. The expectation is that Acuna will be back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest, but fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday.
