  • Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) heading to injured list
    Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) told reporters after Sunday’s game that he’ll be placed on the injured list on Monday.

    Advice: The 26-year-old superstar elaborated, saying that the injury feels like the same injury that he dealt with in 2018 on his left knee, and that he expects to miss around a month as he did at that time. Presumably, he’ll head for an MRI to determine the full extent of the injury, but either way it sounds like the Braves — and fantasy managers — are going to be without the top overall pick in fantasy leagues for a while.

  • Set to go on IL
    Acuna (knee) told reporters following Sunday's 8-1 win over the Pirates that he will go on the 10-day injured list, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Acuna collapsed in the top of the first inning of Sunday's game after planting his left leg when trying to go back to second base. He exited with trainers following the injury and was helped down the dugout stairs. Acuna noted after the game that it didn't feel like the ACL tear he sustained in his right knee in 2021, which is good news for Atlanta, but the 26-year-old superstar will be sidelined for at least 10 days. Manager Brian Snitker said that the severity of Acuna's injury won't be known until he's evaluated Monday. Acuna is slashing .246/.348/.356 with four home runs, 15 RBI and 16 stolen bases over 191 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 2:01 pm
     
  • Ronald Acuña Jr. leaves with left knee soreness
    Ronald Acuña Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Pirates with left knee soreness.

    Advice: Justin Toscano of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution notes that this is just the initial diagnosis for Acuña Jr., and that he’ll need to undergo further testing. The results of imaging will determine the severity, but it seems very likely that a trip to the injured list is coming for the 26-year-old. Fantasy managers should be be prepared to get him out of their lineup for the week. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:24 am
     
  • Leaves game with left knee injury
    Acuna left in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Pirates due to a left knee soreness, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. He doubled in his lone at-bat of the day.

    Advice: Acuna went down in the top of the first inning Sunday after he planted his left leg trying to go back to second base on a steal attempt. He came off the field limping, though the injury isn't to the same knee that Acuna had surgically repaired in 2021. Jarred Kelenic came off the bench and entered the game in left field, with Adam Duvall shifting over to Acuna's usual spot in right field. Atlanta should have an update on Acuna's condition later Sunday or prior to Monday's series opener with the Nationals. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:57 am
     
  • Heading to bench Sunday
    Greene is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Greene is in the midst of a 2-for-22 slump and will sit Sunday after making nine straight starts. Mark Canha will shift to left field while Carson Kelly receives a turn at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Sunday, 6:35 am
     
  • Upping workouts
    Trout (knee) has been working out on the elliptical and exercise bike and will next progress to the treadmill, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Trout has not done any baseball activities yet, but his rehab from left knee surgery in early May is progressing on schedule. It figures to be a while before a timetable comes into focus, but a return before the All-Star break seems unlikely at this stage. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:39 pm

  • Sitting out Friday
    Cabrera is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Padres.

    Advice: Cabrera will take a seat Friday after starting each of the last three games, as Jon Berti gets the nod at third base against Padres right-hander Yu Darvish. Cabrera is slashing .256/.298/.349 with one home run and four RBI in May. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:35 pm

  • Pulls Marlins to win
    Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 1-0 win over the Brewers.

    Advice: Chisholm clubbed a leadoff homer in the first inning off Freddy Peralta, a long ball that ended up being the difference. In his last 16 games, Chisholm is batting .308 with three home runs, 13 runs and four stolen bases. The 26-year-old is one of seven players with at least seven long balls and nine stolen bases, joining Elly De La Cruz, Bobby Witt, Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Kyle Tucker on the exclusive list.

  • Jazz Chisholm hits solo homer in win
    Jazz Chisholm went 1-for-4 with a solo home run on Wednesday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Chisholm’s first-inning home run wound up being the only run scored in the pitcher’s duel between Jesús Luzardo and Freddy Peralta. That was his second lead-off home run this season and the seventh of his career as he’s very casually up to seven homers and nine steals on the campaign. Rotoworld Wednesday, 5:49 pm
