hamstring
DENVER (AP) --- The Atlanta Braves placed star right fielder Ronald Acua Jr.
on the 10-day injured list because of a strained left hamstring on Sunday.
The Braves owned the best record in baseball at 24-10 entering Sunday's game
against the Colorado Rockies. But they'll have to get by for now without one of
their top players.
Acua left Saturday night's game in the second inning. He was attempting to run
out a ground ball before he pulled up about halfway down the base path and
grabbed at his hamstring.
The five-time All-Star and 2023 National League MVP is batting .252 with two
home runs, nine RBIs, 17 runs and a team-high seven steals. He had played in
all 34 games after a torn ACL he suffered in May 2024 limited him to a combined
144 games over the past two seasons.
The Braves activated right-hander Spencer Strider from the injured list prior
to Sunday's start. The 2023 All-Star was set to make his season debut after
being sidelined with a strained oblique. The Braves optioned right-hander
Hunter Stratton to Triple-A Gwinnett following Saturday's game to make room for
him. They also selected outfielder Jos Azcar's contract from the minor league
club on Sunday with Acua going on the injured list.
