Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves is expected to be out longer due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. Braves manager Walt Weiss stated that Acuña is a 'long way' from returning and they will be cautious with his recovery, especially since the strain is in the same location as a previous injury. He likely won't return until after the All-Star break, and it is probable he will miss most of July. Meanwhile, Jair Camargo has been added to the roster as the 27th man for the doubleheader against the Chicago White Sox.
