Braves place Ronald Acuna Jr. on injured list, add Rowdy Tellez

The Atlanta Braves announced on June 10, 2026, that Ronald Acuna Jr. has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to a strained left hamstring. Rowdy Tellez has been selected to the major league roster as Acuna's replacement. Tellez, a 270-pound slugger, has been performing well at Triple-A Gwinnett with 8 homers and an.850 OPS this season. However, he will not directly replace Acuna in the lineup, as Mauricio Dubon is expected to take over right field duties in Acuna's absence. This roster adjustment comes as the team navigates injury setbacks, with Tellez potentially providing additional power off the bench.
