Braves Star Ronald Acuña Jr. Lands on IL with Right Achilles Tightness

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to right Achilles tightness after exiting Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals. Acuña Jr. reportedly felt the injury during Monday's game but still played Tuesday, and was later seen in a walking boot, with further evaluation scheduled for Wednesday. Before the injury, he was batting .306/.429/.577 with 14 home runs in 55 games this season, a return from a previous left ACL tear, and the struggling Braves are expected to handle his recovery conservatively.
