Atlanta Braves

Ronald Acuna Jr.

RF

Acuna hasn't hit any snags in his recovery from the Grade 1 left hamstring strain that sent him to the IL on May 3; Atlanta is seemingly just exercising some caution in bringing the prized outfielder back from the injury.

Spencer Schwellenbach

SP

The 25-year-old right-hander has already been ruled out for the first half of the season while recovering from surgery to remove bone spurs from his right elbow. Still, starting up a throwing program is a major step in Schwellenbach's rehab progression. He'll likely ramp up his throwing slowly once officially cleared before returning to mound.

Sean Murphy

C

The veteran backstop landed on the injured list earlier Tuesday due to a fractured left middle finger, which he sustained Sunday in just his fourth game of the season after opening the year on the injured list while rehabbing from shoulder surgery. Murphy's absence will extended into July and could push beyond the All-Star break. Drake Baldwin is poised to work as Atlanta's starting catcher, and the club signed Sandy Leon to fill the back up job.

Eli White

CF

White made a spectacular catch to rob Max Muncy of an extra-base hit with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth inning, and he crashed face-first into the padded outfield wall at the culmination of the play. White temporarily remained in the contest but was then replaced in the field by Mike Yastrzemski in the bottom of the eighth frame. White will need to gain clearance from a physician in order to be able to play in Atlanta's next game, Tuesday versus the Cubs. If he's diagnosed with a concussion, White will be required to go on the 7-day concussion injured list.

Joe Jimenez

RP

It's the third surgery Jimenez has had on the knee since November 2024. Weiss noted Wednesday that Jimenez feels better after this recent procedure than he has previously about pitching again, though there remains no timetable for his return. Jimenez is already on the 60-day injured list and will be a free agent after this season.
