Acuña had another strained hamstring issue in early May that forced him to miss several games. Weiss told reporters the team believes Acuña’s latest injury isn’t as bad as the last one.
The Braves will look to avoid a sweep by White Sox on Thursday before flying to New York for their first series of the season against the Mets.
