The New York Yankees might have a surprise participant in the All-Star event after some unfortunate injury news.

That quest didn’t get off to a great start, as star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was a late scratch for the first game of the series on Tuesday night. The Braves called it a lower back injury that kept Acuna out of the game, according to a post from the team on social media.

With MLB’s All-Star Week approaching, Ronald Acuña Jr. was scratched from the Atlanta Braves' lineup due to back tightness. His status for the Derby and All-Star Game is now uncertain.
