Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. will miss significant time after re-injuring his hamstring. Manager Walt Weiss indicated that Acuna is a 'long way' from returning after landing on the injured list on June 10. This hamstring strain is in the same location as an earlier injury earlier in the season, which caused him to miss nearly three weeks. The Braves, currently leading the NL East, are also without Michael Harris II, further challenging their roster depth as they prepare for upcoming games.
