The post Ronald Acuña Jr. slips to rookie year low in Braves’ lineup appeared first on ClutchPoints.
The Atlanta Braves won the series opener against the Seattle Mariners on Friday. Entering Saturday’s game, though, Braves manager Brian Snitker decided to make an interesting change to his batting order. Ronald Acuña Jr. has dealt with injuries throughout the season, putting him in a slump at the plate. To fix that, Jurickson Profar will leadoff with Acuña Jr. bats sixth.
The All-Star outfielder is one of the best leadoff hitters in Major League Baseball when healthy.
