"Back when Ronald Acuña Jr. was initially diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, there was a feeling that Acuña's stint on the IL might be a quick one - one where the starting right fielder for the Braves would simply just take some rest before ramping back up for a return within a 10-day span."
"Mark Bowman of MLB.com shared the news from Braves manager Walt Weiss that there's a very good chance that Acuña could be back in action on this coming Wednesday, which would be the first day where he's eligible to come off of the IL."
"It also helped that Acuña was on the field before tonight's game against the Dodgers getting in some exercise work."
"Usually it's safe to assume that this is the type of injury that'll take anywhere from 2-to-3 weeks to recover from so the fact that Acuña may be back in 10 days is a very positive development. I'd imagine that they'll take it easy with bringing Acuña back into the fold once h is activated but the fact that this could be just 10 days after all is pretty solid news."
Ronald Acuña Jr. was diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain and initially expected to miss only a short period. His upbeat attitude, including joking with Ozzie Albies in Colorado, suggested the injury might not be serious. Braves manager Walt Weiss reported that Acuña has a very good chance to return on Wednesday, the first day he is eligible to come off the injured list. Acuña also performed exercise work on the field before the game against the Dodgers. The Braves view this as positive because similar hamstring strains often require 2 to 3 weeks, while a return in about 10 days would be faster than expected. The team will likely ease him back after activation and hopes there are no setbacks before Wednesday.
