Ronald Acuña Activated from Injured List After 38-Game Absence

Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña has been officially activated from the injured list, ending a 38-game absence due to a left hamstring strain sustained on June 9. Acuña is set to return to the leadoff spot for Monday's series opener against the Mets. In a corresponding roster move, the team optioned Brewer Hicklen to Triple-A. The Braves maintained their NL East lead during his absence, currently holding a 5.5-game cushion.
