Acuña injury tests Braves as Anthopoulos speaks and roster moves follow

Ronald Acuña Jr. exited Saturday’s game with a left hamstring injury and will receive an MRI, forcing Atlanta to lean on the lineup while he heals. Matt Olson’s torrid start anchors the offense as Austin Riley steps in; GM Alex Anthopoulos discussed the team’s tight-knit locker room during a recent interview. The Braves also recalled Carlos Carrasco and optioned Anthony Molina, and Chris Sale powered a 9-1 win at Coors, with Bryce Elder continuing a strong season. MLB notes include Lars Nootbar’s rehab and other league moves.
