Braves Star Ronald Acuña Jr. Leaves Game With Injury
10 Jun
Summary
- Ronald Acuña Jr. exited Tuesday's game with left hamstring tightness.
- This is the same hamstring that previously sent him to the injured list.
- The Braves, despite injuries, hold MLB's best record at 45-21.
Ronald Acuña Jr. experienced left hamstring tightness, forcing his exit from Atlanta's series opener against the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday. He was observed limping while running the first-base line and was substituted by Eli White.
This recurrence of hamstring tightness affects the same leg that Acuña injured earlier this season, an injury that necessitated a previous stint on the injured list. As of Tuesday, Acuña's season stats showed a .254 batting average, seven home runs, and a .798 OPS over 52 games.
Should Acuña require another period on the injured list, he would join a growing number of Braves players sidelined, including catchers Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy, center fielder Michael Harris II, and several pitchers. Prior to Tuesday's game, the Braves held MLB's best record with 45 wins and 21 losses.
