Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. will be activated from the injured list before Monday's game against the New York Mets, sources told ESPN's Buster Olney. Acuña was placed on the injured list on June 9 with a left hamstring strain, marking the second time this season he has been sidelined with the same injury.

He previously missed 15 games in May due to the hamstring issue. The 2023 MVP is currently batting .251 with a .373 on-base percentage and a .793 OPS, along with 15 stolen bases in 53 games this season.

The Braves, who hold a 5½ game lead in the National League East, have a record of 37-16 with Acuña in the lineup and 25-27 without him this year.
