The Atlanta Braves have placed Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list because of right Achilles tendon inflammation. The severity of the injury is still unclear.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was removed from Tuesday night's loss at Kansas City with tightness in his right Achilles tendon and will be placed on the 10-day injured list. Acuña experienced the discomfort after chasing down a ball in right field. He'll be evaluated further on Wednesday with an MRI in Atlanta.

Acuna could return within the next two-to-three weeks, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. However, it's worth noting that Acuna, who plays as hard as any player in the majors, has a serious injury history. He has suffered two season-ending ACL tears, one in his right knee in 2021 and the left knee this past season.
