The Atlanta Braves announced that right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left hamstring. Acuna left Saturday's game against the Colorado Rockies in the second inning after experiencing discomfort while running out a ground ball. This season, the five-time All-Star and 2023 National League MVP has played in all of Atlanta's 34 games, batting .252 with two home runs, nine RBIs, and a team-high seven stolen bases. Notably, Acuna had been hitting .381 over the past six games. To fill Acuna's spot, the Braves recalled outfielder Jose Azocar. Additionally, right-hander Spencer Strider made his season debut after recovering from a Grade 1 oblique strain, having struck out 18 batters in 12⅔ innings during rehab with a 1.42 ERA. Right-hander Hunter Stratton was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett to accommodate Strider's return.
