Unix shell, executing a command on a file based on date

Question

I have an application server that produces daily log on the following format:

access_log.{Y-m-d}

So I want to execute a command in a way like this:

tail -f access_log.{+%Y-%m-%d}

Is there any way to do a in single line without creating variables ?
