Kansas native Joey Wentz got a standing ovation Wednesday from about 20 family members, hundreds of traveling Braves fans and some of his old pals and high school coach, some seated behind the visiting dugout as he exited after pitching 6 2/3 scoreless innings against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

The Atlanta Braves have placed Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list because of right Achilles tendon inflammation. The severity of the injury is still unclear.
