Atlanta Braves All-Star right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup against the host Athletics due to lower back tightness.
Meanwhile, the Athletics lost All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson when the rookie was hit on the left wrist by a pitch in the bottom of the first inning.
The Braves announced that Acuna was removed from the lineup due to the discomfort approximately 50 minutes before first pitch in West Sacramento, Calif.
Eli White replaced Acuna in right field and is batting eighth while left fielder Jurickson Profar was elevated from fifth to Acuna’s leadoff spot.
The Braves plan to evaluate Acuna over the next few days before deciding his availability for next week’s All-Star Game in Atlanta. Acuna is set to participate in the Home Run Derby next Monday and start the All-Star Game the following night.
This is the fifth All-Star nod for the 2023 National League MVP.
Atlanta was off Monday so it is unclear when Acuna’s back began bothering him. The 27-year-old is batting .331 with nine homers and 18 RBIs in 40 games after missing nearly 12 months due to an ACL injury.
After Lawrence Butler opened the game for the Athletics with an inside-the-park homer, Wilson came up for the A’s and was plunked by Atlanta right-hander Didier Fuentes. Wilson exited the game and was taken back to the locker room behind the outfield wall to be examined.
Wilson, 23, is slated to be the American League’s starting shortstop in the All-Star Game. He is batting .335 with nine homers and 42 RBIs. Monday was his 85th appearance of the season.
Max Schuemann pinch-ran for Wilson and took over the shortstop duties.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are experiencing some unexpected turbulence ahead of the 2025 season.

The Indiana Pacers never saw it coming. That's how coach Rick Carlisle and team president Kevin Pritchard explained the free agency departure of Myles Turner to the Milwaukee Bucks coming off the franchise's NBA Finals appearance.Turner's four-year, $107 million deal means Milwaukee now has a featured option to pair with Giannis Antetokounmpo while the Pacers will be without a dependable low-post threat approaching a 2025-26 campaign that won't include Tyrese Haliburton, either."Losing Myles Turner is a signifiant loss for our team, the guy's a terrific player and he had a great season," Carlisle said this week on Green Light with Chris Long. "We were talking to him — him being his agent — about returning and really out of nowhere, Milwaukee decided to waive Damian Lillard and stretch his money out.

2025 MLB Home Run Derby: Junior Caminero joins field of James Wood, Cal Raleigh, Ronald Acuña Jr. and more
Tampa Bays Rays young slugger Junior Caminero is the latest to confirm his participation in the upcoming 2025 Home Run Derby. MLB announced the news on Wednesday, which means just two spots remain in the eight-player Derby field. Caminero, who just turned 22 mere days ago, leads all major-league third baseman with 21 home runs this season. He's slashing .252/.294/.496 in this, his second MLB season, and he's not far removed from a 2023 campaign in which he hit 31 homers in 117 games across two minor-league levels. Not surprisingly, Caminero hits the ball hard, as his max exit velocity of 116.5 mph is in 97th percentile among big-league hitters in 2025. And almost no one boasts better bat speed. Caminero's average barrel speed of 78.0 mph is second only to that of his fellow Derby combatant Oneil Cruz.Incoming Cruz missilesPittsburgh Pirates slugger Oneil […]
