  "account": "ATLANTA, GEORGIA - SEPTEMBER 23: Ronald Acuña Jr. #13 of the Atlanta Braves exits a game against the Cincinnati Reds at Truist Park in Atlanta following a left shin contusion. (Photo by Kenneth Richmond/Getty Images) Acuña Jr., the Atlanta Braves' star outfielder, left Tuesday night's contest with the Cincinnati Reds after sustaining a left shin contusion. The injury occurred when he fouled a ball off his left leg. The Braves have yet to provide an official update on Acuña's condition, but sources indicate the injury is not serious and he is currently day-to-day. This marks Acuña's second injury this season, following a left hamstring strain that sidelined him for nearly three months. Despite this setback, the Braves, currently leading the NL East with a 92-64 record, are expected to advance to the postseason as the third seed in the National League.",
