11 Ender Inciarte CF

Inciarte is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Padres.

Inciarte was on the bench for Tuesday's game after injuring his hamstring in the series opener, but he returned to action Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a double and a run in the victory. it doesn't sound like he experienced any setbacks with the hamstring Wednesday, so manager Brian Snitker is likely just giving the speedy outfielder a breather in the day game after a night game. Charlie Culberson will enter the the starting nine in Inciarte's stead.

Inciarte (hamstring) will start in center field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Padres.

Inciarte was removed from Monday's series opener after experiencing right hamstring tightness and was excluded from the lineup Tuesday. He was at least able to make an appearance as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning Tuesday, which was apparently enough to convince manager Brian Snitker that he would be ready to return to the lineup a day later. The injury isn't expected to be a hindrance for Inciarte moving forward, but his spot near the bottom of the lineup could continue to limit his run-scoring and base-stealing opportunities.

Inciarte (hamstring) is expected to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Padres, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

Inciarte will sit for at least one game after leaving Monday's game with a sore right hamstring, but the injury doesn't appear to be a significant one. He got through on-field tests without issues Tuesday and believes he could appear off the bench.

Inciarte tested his sore right hamstring with some agility drills and baserunning Tuesday, Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan Atlanta reports.

The Braves are reportedly not concerned about Inciarte requiring a trip to the injured list, but he will require at least one day out of the lineup. More details about his timeline could emerge once the Braves see how his hamstring responds to running.

Inciarte is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Padres after leaving Monday's game with hamstring tightness.

The severity of the injury is not yet clear, but Inciarte will wind up missing at least one game. Ronald Acuna slides to center in his absence, with Matt Joyce starting in left field.
