The Atlanta Braves placed star right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring Sunday. Acuna exited Saturday night's game against the Colorado Rockies in the second inning after pulling up running out a ground ball. The Braves reinstated pitcher Spencer Strider for his season debut following a Grade 1 oblique strain, while outfielder Jose Azocar was recalled to replace Acuna on the roster.
Los Angeles Dodgers closer Edwin Diaz is scheduled to undergo surgery to remove loose bodies in his right elbow, expected to miss approximately three months.

Diaz, in his first season with the Dodgers after seven years with the Mets, has four saves and 10 strikeouts this season but carries a 10.50 ERA.
