NEW YORK (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. was scratched from the Atlanta Braves’ lineup Wednesday night against the New York Mets because of lower back tightness. So they’re going to work on him and be kind of a day-to-day thing,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson moved up from sixth to bat in Acuña’s leadoff spot. Acuña ranks among the major league leaders in several key offensive categories. The 2018 NL Rookie of the Year was leading the league in runs (58) and was tied for first in stolen bases (15).
