Outfielder Ronald Acuna, reliever Chris Martin and third baseman Austin Riley are ready for the Braves' first postseason series, manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday. The Braves host the Reds in a best-of-three wild-card round beginning Wednesday at Truist Park.
Acuna was a late scratch Sunday after experiencing irritation in is left wrist. It was the same wrist that kept him out for two weeks in August. The 22-year-old All-Star acknowledged Tuesday that the irritation has lingered since he first experienced it in New York on Aug. 11.
“I wouldn’t say it’s worried me," Acuna said via team interpreter Franco Garcia.
