Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuna Jr was scratched from the lineup on Friday after dealing with meniscus irritation in his surgically repaired right knee.

Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos also spoke to Jon Morosi on Sunday morning and said he's “highly confident” Acuna Jr will be in the lineup for the season opener.
