After starting the last six games in right field, Ronald Acuña Jr. will slot in as the DH for the Atlanta Braves in Wednesday’s series finale against the Washington Nationals. The Braves have been cautious with Acuña, who has been bothered by lingering soreness in his knee. Wednesday’s day game presented a good opportunity to rest his legs without taking him out of the lineup.
Since Acuña returned to the outfield, the Braves have been using a lineup that often featured Travis d’Arnaud at catcher and William Contreras as the DH.
