Acuña Jr. Placed on 10-Day IL as Braves Promote Tellez

The Atlanta Braves placed Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring, promoting Rowdy Tellez to the active roster and designating Jhancarlos Lara for assignment. With a 45-22 record and a nine‑game lead in the NL East, Atlanta can be cautious with Acuña’s health and will rely on outfielders like Mauricio Dubón and Eli White as they navigate his absence.

Acuña MVP-Mode Sparks Braves to 40 Wins, Eyes October

The Braves stand 40-19, the first team to reach 40 wins, even while dealing with injuries to key players; Ronald Acuña Jr. is back at MVP level, fueling a 5-2 win over the Reds as Atlanta’s depth reasserts itself with pitchers Schwellenbach, Waldrep and Smith-Shawver nearing health. With Baldwin’s return on the horizon and Kim/Riley gradually finding form, the team looks dangerous in October if health cooperates. The recap also notes MLB updates: Munetaka Murikami’s hamstring strain, Jarred Kelenic’s free-agent status after DFA, and Luis Severino’s shoulder strain on the A’s IL.

Braves Lose Acuña to IL, Welcome Strider Back as Roster Shakeup Looms

The Atlanta Braves placed Ronald Acuña Jr. on the injured list with a hamstring strain and recalled José Azocar, while also reinstating right-hander Spencer Strider from the IL; Hunter Stratton was optioned to Triple-A to clear a roster spot. Acuña has struggled this season (.252/.362/.378 with 2 HR in 34 games), but Atlanta remains potent offensively as Michael Harris II returns to center field. The outfield rotation will lean on Eli White, Azocar, Mauricio Dubón, and Mike Yastrzemski in corner spots, with Yastrzemski in a platoon role against lefties.
