  11H ago •

  Manager Brian Snitker said that Acuna (groin), who isn't starting Monday against the Brewers, will likely play Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. Acuna will be out of the lineup for a fifth consecutive game Monday, but he passed all the tests the team gave him while running the bases and participating in other exercises. While the team doctors will monitor how he feels following Monday's workout, he appears to be on track to avoid a trip to the injured list.

  Acuna (groin) is not in Sunday's lineup against the Padres. His MRI didn't reveal anything that would lead Atlanta to shut him down, but he still feels discomfort when he runs and slides, so it's not surprising that he is out of action for Sunday morning's game. The team says it's his groin, not his surgically repaired knee, that is giving him trouble. Travis Demeritte will pick up another start in place of Acuna.

  Atlanta got the "best news possible" regarding the MRI on Acuna's groin Saturday, according to manager Brian Snitker, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports. "He's just going to be day-to-day. I don't know how long it will be. But there's nothing from the MRI that showed he's going to be shut down," Snitker said. Apparently Acuna is experiencing discomfort when he runs and slides on the basepaths, which led to Saturday's MRI. His surgically repaired knee is reportedly not a problem at all. William Contreras got a start at designated hitter with Acuna out of the lineup.
