Ronald Acuña Jr. is out of the lineup for the third straight day as the Atlanta Braves prepare to open a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. Acuña is dealing with a sore quad, but manager Brian Snitker says that he is feeling better and was slated to run the bases prior to Friday’s game.
“He’s out there running the bases right now, so we’ll know a little bit more,” Snitker said. “He felt good, it’s improving. Hopefully they come back and he feels good and we’ll check him out in the morning.”
That sounds like there is at least a chance that Acuña could return to the lineup when the series continues Saturday.
