Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. suffered an injury scare during Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Cincinnati Reds. It was later revealed that Acuna was dealing with a left shin contusion and X-rays were negative. He is day-to-day, but is he playing tonight vs. the Reds?
The Braves can be patient with Acuna, as they already clinched the National League East title. Atlanta would love for Acuna to play before the postseason so he can be ready for a big playoff series, but the team is going to be cautious as well.
Here's everything we know about Ronald Acuna Jr.'s injury status for tonight's game vs. the Reds.

The Braves' official lineup for Wednesday's game has yet to be released. Given the fact that Acuna is day-to-day and Atlanta already clinched the NL East title, it would not be surprising to see Acuna on the bench for this game. Even if he is feeling alright, giving him at least one day of rest makes sense. Still, nothing is guaranteed at the moment.
The 28-year-old is hitting .259/.352/.462 across 104 games played this season. He's recorded 20 home runs, 18 doubles and 20 stolen bases. Although his overall playing time has been limited due to injury, Acuna has been rather productive while on the field.
When it comes to the question of if Ronald Acuna Jr. is playing tonight vs. the Reds, the answer is currently uncertain. First pitch for the ball game is scheduled for 7:15 PM ET in Atlanta.
