"Ronald Acuña Jr. was placed on the injured list with a left hamstring strain earlier this week. However, he is eligible to return on Wednesday, and Mark Bowman of MLB.com reported that a timely return is plausible. Acuña was seen doing some agility exercises ahead of Friday night's game, which was a great sign for the team who is typically riddled with injury. If Acuña is able to return as soon as Wednesday, it would provide a major boost for Atlanta as the Braves look to stay atop the National League standings."
"Chris Sale put together a spectacular outing despite Friday's 3-1 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. In MLB Pipeline's first mock draft of 2026, the Braves are projected to select a shortstop out of UCLA. Dixon Williams logged another home run for the Rome Emperors on Thursday. More in the minor league recap. Carlos Carrasco has reportedly rejoined the Braves on a minor league deal."
"The Los Angeles Dodgers placed right-hander Tyler Glasnow on the 15-day injured list due to lower back spasms. Glasnow reinjured his back during his outing on May 6. The Kansas City Royals placed left-hander Cole Ragans on the 15-day injured list with a left elbow impingement. The move is retroactive to May 7. Alex Anthopoulos and Buster Olney discussed the Braves' collaborative approach to analytics. The Dodgers are reinstating Blake Snell from the injured list to start Saturday's contest versus the Braves."
