Remember when the Atlanta Braves won the World Series in 2021? Remember when they won 100-plus games in each of the next two seasons? Oh, and remember how these were merely three parts of a seven-year run as a playoff team?

Prior to Tuesday’s contest out west, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was scratched from the lineup card with back tightness. He is considered day-to-day. Acuña reportedly suffered the injury while lifting weights. He will be reevaluated today to gauge his availability for All-Star activities taking place next week.

That quest didn’t get off to a great start, as star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a late scratch for the first game of the series on Tuesday night. The Braves called it a lower back injury that kept Acuna out of the game, according to a post from the team on social media.
