On March 31, the Braves faced setbacks with outfielder Jurickson Profar receiving an 80-game suspension and starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez going on the 15-day injured list. Despite these losses, manager Brian Snitker provided updates on star outfielder Ronald Acuña, Jr.'s recovery from knee surgery, stating that he may begin outfield drills in April. Although optimism surrounds Acuña's progress, he is not close to returning, with speculation pointing to a mid-to-late May comeback, prompting the team to adopt a day-to-day strategy for leadoff decisions.
The expectation has been that Acuña, Jr. would likely be looking to return to the Braves line-up in mid-to-late May.
Snitker said they'll probably go day-to-day with leadoff decisions until Acuña returns.
