Open Extended ReactionsThe Atlanta Braves said Wednesday that star Ronald Acuna Jr. has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 lower right calf strain. Earlier Wednesday, the Braves placed Acuna on the 10-day injured list and recalled outfielder Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Gwinnett to take his place on the roster. "It happened when I scored from first to home on that play," Acuna explained after the game, speaking through an interpreter. He missed time as a rookie in 2018 with a sprained left knee ligament, then tore the ACL in his right knee, ending his 2021 season. After missing the start of this season, Acuna returned May 23 and began playing at an All-Star level again.
