ATLANTA (AP) — After a painful week, Ronald Acuña Jr. is back in the lineup for the Atlanta Braves to start a weekend series against Baltimore. The slugging outfielder left a victory at Miami after fouling a ball off his left knee. He also was plunked in the back of the left shoulder with a pitch against the New York Mets. While Acuña is good to go, the Braves made a flurry of moves. Reliever Raisel Iglesias is set to make his season debut, while Braden Shewmake started Friday at shortstop for his big league debut. Also, catcher Travis d’Arnaud is beginning a rehab assignment.
