Ronald Acuna Jr. Back in Lineup, Leading Off Thursday Night After Hit by Pitch Scare

Despite being listed as day-to-day on Thursday, Ronald Acuna Jr. is back in the Braves' lineup just one night after being hit by a pitch.

Acuna was hit in the left elbow Wednesday night by Jose Urena's first pitch of the game, leading to a brawl between the Braves and Marlins. Urena and Braves manager Brian Snitker were ejected from the game. Acuna remained in the game to run the bases but later exited during warmups before the start of the second inning.

X-rays on Acuna's left elbow were negative and a CT scan performed Wednesday night on his left elbow was normal.
