3 years agoAfter pinch-hitting on Friday night, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (quadriceps) is back in the starting lineup on Saturday against Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff. Acuna hit a game-tying RBI double against Miami as a pinch-hitter on Friday, but the Braves don't feel comfortable putting him back in the outfield just yet. Outfield prospect Michael Harris will make his big-league debut in center field while hitting ninth. Acuna missed the team's last three games, but fantasy managers will want to get the 24-year-old superstar back into all lineups. He's dealt with groin and quad issues since getting a late start to the season, but Acuna is still hitting .303/.407/.470 with an .877 OPS, two home runs, nine RBI, 11 runs and eight stolen bases in 66 at-bats.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
