Braves' Ronald Acuna to Miss Games Due to Achilles Injury

The Atlanta Braves are placing star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. on the 10-day injured list due to right Achilles tightness after he exited a game early, adding to a challenging season for the team which is already 16 games under .500 and planning to trade several players. Acuna, who has been a bright spot with a .306/.429/.577 line and 14 homers since returning from injury, is expected to undergo further testing, but his injury is unlikely to affect the team's trade plans.

"Braves' Dylan Dodd takes on the Pirates in a thrilling showdown"

The Atlanta Braves are looking for a series win against the Pittsburgh Pirates, with rookie Dylan Dodd taking the mound.
