Jr, Joe Jim\u00e9nez, Sean Murphy and Spencer Strider to IL"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"c-entry-summary p-dek\">Atlanta makes some procedural IL moves ahead of the start of the regular season<\/p>\n<p id=\"AFpIls\">The Atlanta Braves made some IL moves today, with Opening Day just two days away from today. None of these moves are particularly surprising, either but it\u2019s still worth talking about, just to get an idea of who\u2019s available, who\u2019s not available and also a general idea of when these players could be back in action.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Kaf1if\">Here\u2019s the tweet from the Braves announcing the moves:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Braves?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Braves<\/a> today placed OF Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. (left knee ACL reconstruction), INF Nacho Alvarez Jr. (left wrist inflammation) and C Sean Murphy (fractured left ribcage) on the 10-day injured list, and placed RHP Spencer Strider (right elbow UCL injury) and RHP Joe Jim\u00e9nez (left\u2026<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Atlanta Braves (@Braves) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Braves\/status\/1904634145797501340?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 25, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p id=\"LH5h4j\">The reason why Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. is on the 10-day IL despite more-than-likely returning to action after Spencer Strider is expected to return, it\u2019s because pitchers (and two-way players) are required to go on the 15-day IL and everybody else is eligible for the 10-day IL. So this isn\u2019t to say that Acu\u00f1a\u2019s going to be back sooner than Strider is but it does mean that they\u2019re both still going to get a decent amount of time to prepare before they make their eventual returns.<\/p>\n<p id=\"emUEzc\">Meanwhile, Nacho Alvarez Jr. has been dealing with this injury since late-February and it\u2019s gotten to the point where he\u2019s still going to need some time before he\u2019s healthy again. He\u2019ll also probably be starting the season in Triple-A, so there\u2019s that. Sean Murphy was recently cleared to resume baseball activities but he still likely has a few weeks to wait before he can make a full return. We all know the story about Joe Jim\u00e9nez and his recovery from major knee surgery, which will very likely cost him most of (if not all of) the 2025 season. He\u2019s going to start on the 15-day IL and the Braves will move him to the 60-day IL whenever they need to open up his spot on the roster. This is also the first time that he\u2019s been officially moved to the IL since having the surgery.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PSDwFp\">So there you have it! A bit of housecleaning that we all expected but it\u2019s still good to know, nonetheless. The roster picture for the Atlanta Braves is getting clearer and clearer as Opening Day approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Atlanta makes some procedural IL moves ahead of the start of the regular season<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":44160,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>BREAKING NEWS: Braves move Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr., Nacho Alvarez.
