3 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (groin) has returned to the starting lineup on Tuesday against the Milwaukee Brewers and right-hander Adrian Houser. Acuna is serving as the designated hitter and will bat leadoff after missing the last five games due to a sore left groin. Travis Demeritte will remain in right field and will hit sixth in the batting order against Milwaukee. Acuna has played in only 10 games this year after getting a late start while recovering from a torn ACL suffered last season, but he's hitting .282/.391/.487 in his first 46 plate appearances with two home runs, five RBI, four runs scored and five stolen bases. Hopefully his lower-body issue won't prevent him from running on the base paths, but even if it does, the 24-year-old superstar is a must-start.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
