Ronald Acuña Jr. exits game with left shin contusion, is day-to-day
Well this is certainly concerning.
With the postseason approaching, Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuña Jr. left the game in the third inning due to a left shin contusion. The hit came on a full-count with two outs, and Acuña was seen in pain by the trainer who attended to him. He was eventually helped off the field and the game continued with Brewer Hicklen taking over.
Although he managed to finish his at-bat, Acuña was seen limping off the field. Acuña's performance has been impressive recently, and his presence would be crucial for the Braves in a deep postseason run. However, with his injury, there is uncertainty about his availability for the postseason. The Braves posted on social media that Acuña had negative X-rays, and he is currently listed as day-to-day.
Despite the relief, there is still a possibility of a bone bruise that may not show up on X-rays and could require an MRI. Fans will have to wait for updates after the game to know when Acuña will return to the lineup.
