As Opening Day approaches, the Atlanta Braves have announced multiple updates regarding their injured players. OF Ronald Acuña Jr., INF Nacho Alvarez Jr., and C Sean Murphy have been placed on the 10-day injured list. Acuña's placement is largely procedural, given the different IL requirements for pitchers and position players. Alvarez, battling a left wrist issue since late February, may need minor league time upon recovery. Meanwhile, RHP Spencer Strider is also on the IL as he deals with an elbow injury and Jiménez is likely facing most of the season out following knee surgery.
The #Braves today placed OF Ronald Acuña Jr. and others on the 10-day injured list, highlighting their current injury challenges as Opening Day approaches.
Ronald Acuña Jr.'s placement on the 10-day IL doesn't mean he'll return sooner than Spencer Strider; it’s just the procedural difference in IL requirements.
Nacho Alvarez Jr. has been dealing with left wrist inflammation since late February, and he may need time in Triple-A to return to form.
Joe Jiménez will likely miss most of the 2025 season after major knee surgery, starting on the 15-day IL and potentially moving to the 60-day.
