Playing time and lineup considerations with Acuna Jr.'s return looming
Briefly

The article discusses the eagerly awaited return of Ronald Acuña Jr. to the Atlanta Braves, with speculation around his potential return by Friday. Acuña is performing excellently in his rehab assignment. The Braves' manager, Brian Snitker, has set the requirement of Acuña playing nine innings in right field before his activation. Additionally, the team will need to consider roster moves and lineup changes upon his return. The current bench players have been criticized for their performance, leading to discussions about their future roles as Acuña re-joins the team.
Whenever Acuña Jr. returns - whether that's Friday or a little later on - Brian Snitker and the Braves will have a few decisions to make.
Manager Brian Snitker has said they want to see Acuña play 9 innings in right field before he returns.
His calling card is his ability to stand in at every position on the field except pitcher and catcher without embarrassing himself.
That leathery smell of a baseball bounding past your car on I-85 after it was crushed out of Coolray Field? That, my friends, is the smell of Ronald Acuña Jr.'s impending return.
