3 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (groin) is out of the starting lineup yet again on Monday against the Milwaukee Brewers. The 24-year-old superstar remains day-to-day, but this will be his fifth straight game on the bench due to a groin injury. The Braves are understandably being cautious with Acuna, even though his MRI exam came back clean over the weekend. Travis Demeritte is in right field and batting leadoff, while Orlando Arcia is the designated hitter and is batting ninth against Brewers right-hander Freddy Peralta on Monday. Acuna has played in only 10 games this year while getting a late start to the season as he recovered from a torn ACL last year, but he's hit well when he's been on the field, going 11-for-39 with two home runs, five RBI and five stolen bases.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
