3 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. is in right field and is hitting leadoff on Monday against New York Mets right-hander Chris Bassitt. Acuna made his season debut in right field last Thursday, had a day off on Friday and served as the designated hitter while leading off on both Saturday and Sunday. The Braves are trying to give the 24-year-old superstar a little bit of extra rest after returning from a torn ACL in his knee last July. Marcell Ozuna will serve as the DH on Monday and hit cleanup, while Travis Demeritte will start in left field and bat eighth. Acuna has just two hits, an RBI and two stolen bases in his first 13 at-bats over three games, but he's a no-brainer must-start in season-long fantasy leagues.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
