Ronald Acuña Jr. Placed on 10-Day IL with Right Achilles Tendon Tightness

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was removed from Tuesday's loss against the Kansas City Royals due to tightness in his right Achilles tendon and will be placed on the 10-day injured list. Acuña initially felt pain running the bases on Monday, which worsened after chasing a foul ball on Tuesday. Manager Brian Snitker confirmed the IL stint, expecting the five-time All-Star to be sidelined for at least 10 days, with Eli White filling in at right field during his absence. Acuña is currently batting .306 with 14 homers and 26 RBIs in 55 games.
