Remember when the Atlanta Braves won the World Series in 2021? Remember when they won 100-plus games in each of the next two seasons? Oh, and remember how these were merely three parts of a seven-year run as a playoff team?

That quest didn’t get off to a great start, as star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a late scratch for the first game of the series on Tuesday night. The Braves called it a lower back injury that kept Acuna out of the game, according to a post from the team on social media.

Prior to Tuesday’s contest out west, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was scratched from the lineup card with back tightness. He is considered day-to-day. Acuña reportedly suffered the injury while lifting weights. He will be reevaluated today to gauge his availability for All-Star activities taking place next week.
