Ronald Acuña Jr. was held out of the final game of the season with wrist soreness.
OF Ronald Acuña Jr. has been scratched from today’s lineup as a precaution with left wrist irritation.

That immediately had me, and the rest of Braves Country, imagining the worst. Remember, it was the wrist that landed Acuña on the IL about a month ago. However, we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief today, as Brian Snitker told the media that Acuña is fine, and that there is nothing that will prevent him from hitting leadoff.
Snit on Acuña: "He's feeling good, he's fine. He didn't have anything that would prohibit him from hitting leadoff tomorrow" #Braves

That should be music to the ears of Braves’ fans everywhere. Not only is Acuña Atlanta’s most talented player, but he also dominated in last year’s NLDS, posting a .444 batting average with three doubles and one homer — good for an eye-popping 1.454 OPS. He’ll look to continue that success tomorrow against Trevor Bauer and the Reds.
