Ronald Acuna Jr. could return for Braves' opener vs. Reds

Field Level Media

As the Atlanta Braves open a weekend series on Friday against the host Cincinnati Reds, they are hopeful that star right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. will return to their already potent lineup.

On Thursday, Acuna rejoined the defending World Series champions in Philadelphia but did not play after receiving treatment for his bruised left foot back in Atlanta earlier in the week.

Acuna fouled a pitch off his left foot in the third inning of Atlanta's Saturday night home game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, and he left after the eighth inning.
