The Atlanta Braves expect to get Ronald Acuna Jr. back in the lineup Saturday when they host the San Diego Padres in the second game of a three-game series.
Acuna has missed two games with a right groin injury that he sustained on Tuesday. The 24-year-old right fielder told reporters prior to theFriday game that he would be available on Saturday.
Manager Brian Snitker opted against using Acuna as a sub on Friday in the Braves' 11-6 loss to the Padres.
"I think anybody with a leg problem, I don't think you want to bring them off (the bench) cold," Snitker said.
