Riley moves to fifth spot, Inciarte starts as Acuña rests hammy

The 2020 trade deadline came and went without much action for the Atlanta Braves, but there is still a game to be played tonight.

After tweaking his hamstring during last night’s 12-10 slugfest over the Phillies, Ronald Acuña’s status still needs a bit more time before being solidified:

Snitker said Acuña hasn't been re-evaluated today. They'll be cautious with the hamstring. So, I wouldn't be surprised if he sits until the Braves return home on Friday.

In the meantime, Ender Inciarte will take his place in centerfield and bat ninth.
