Eli White started in right field instead with left fielder Jurickson Profar in the leadoff spot.MLB.com's Mark Bowman reported that team trainer George Poulis told Braves manager Brian Snitker that Acuña experienced discomfort in his lower back during Tuesday's batting practice.

Acuña helped lead the Braves to a 9-2 win against the Athletics — just their third victory in 13 games — a day after an embarrassing 10-1 series-opening loss. The Braves hit a season-high five homers, with others from Drake Baldwin, Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna, who hit his first in 22 games, since June 13.
