Braves' Ender Inciarte Still Feeling Pain in Hamstring After Latest Test
By Parker White
The Atlanta Braves head to New York this weekend to face the Mets and wrap up the 2019 regular season. Atlanta has suffered injuries to several key players over the last couple weeks, including what they hope are minor problems with Freddie Freeman and Ronald Acuña Jr.
They were hoping to get some good news about Ender Inciarte, who has been out since mid-August with a hamstring injury, but after running on Friday it seems like he'll miss more time.
After running and testing his hamstring this afternoon, Inciarte indicated he’s still feeling discomfort.

The Braves were hopeful Inciarte could get into a game or two this weekend to prepare for the postseason, but if he's still feeling discomfort in his hamstring, it's looking like he's not going to get any reps before the postseason begins.

Inciarte still has a little time before Atlanta has to make a decision on his availability for the NLDS, but if he can't play in a game, would the Braves really use a roster spot on him?
