Yankees, Braves meet as stars expected to return

The Atlanta Braves and New York Yankees each expect to get a powerful piece of their offense back on Tuesday when they begin a two-game series in Atlanta.

Outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is expected to return to the lineup for the Braves after being placed on the injured list on Aug. 11 with left wrist inflammation. Acuna missed both the previous games in Yankee Stadium.

New York's Aaron Judge also should be back from a right calf strain that landed him on the injured list. Judge was eligible to return Saturday, but the weekend series against the Mets was postponed because of COVID-19 concerns.
