Acuña starting in right field vs. Guardians after coming off IL

The Atlanta Braves activated superstar outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. from the 10-day injured list, the team announced Friday.

Acuña will start in right field and bat fourth versus the Cleveland Guardians.

The 27-year-old sustained a Grade 1 right calf strain against the Kansas City Royals on July 29. He appeared to suffer the injury while chasing down a foul ball.

Acuña has played only 55 games this season and didn't make his season debut until May as he recovered from a torn ACL.

Despite his late start, Acuña was named to his fifth NL All-Star team, and he owns a .306/.429/.577 with 14 homers and 26 RBIs across 238 plate appearances.

The Braves went 8-7 while Acuña was sidelined. Atlanta is 53-68 and is 16 games out of first in the NL East.
