Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. Set for Starting Lineup Return

After missing one game due to a late scratch, right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. will return for the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.

The Braves announced their starting lineup for Wednesday night's game against the Athletics with Acuña back in the leadoff spot. He will also play his usual right field.

The Braves scratched Acuña hours prior to Tuesday's game because of lower back tightness. Eli White started in right field instead with left fielder Jurickson Profar in the leadoff spot.

MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported that team trainer George Poulis told Braves manager Brian Snitker that Acuña experienced discomfort in his lower back during Tuesday's batting practice.
