Ronald Acuña Jr. returned to right field and batted second for the Atlanta Braves in Wednesday’s NLDS Game 4 against the Los Angeles Dodgers at Truist Park.
He had served as Atlanta’s designated hitter in Game 3 because of right knee soreness. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reported that an MRI showed no structural damage.
The Game 4 lineup put Drake Baldwin at designated hitter and Sean Murphy behind the plate. Michael Harris II started in center field, Mike Yastrzemski in left and Mauricio Dubón at shortstop.
Atlanta entered the game trailing the best-of-five series 2-1. Tyler Mahle was the Braves’ starting pitcher against Tyler Glasnow as Atlanta tried to force a deciding Game 5.
