The Atlanta Braves have struggled with injuries throughout the season. Ronald Acuna Jr. went on the injured list for the second time this season with a calf strain. He and Austin Riley got updates earlier this week from Braves manager Brian Snitker. Atlanta hoped that the All-Star outfielder would be back before the weekend. Now that he is ready, Sandy Leon is headed to the minors.
Acuna Jr. made a big splash when he returned from the IL after a torn ACL. The superstar's triumphant return earned him an All-Star appearance, even if he passed on the Home Run Derby in Atlanta.
