After initially saying that he might be able to return Monday, the Atlanta Braves placed outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list Saturday. Acuña came in Saturday and was still experiencing soreness in the wrist and the decision was made to keep him out of action longer. The earliest he would be able to return would be next Friday. The team recalled right-hander Chad Sobotka to take Acuña’s spot on the roster.
