DENVER (AP) 鈥� Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acu帽a Jr. left Saturday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies in the second inning with left hamstring tightness.
With his team holding a 2-0 lead, Acu帽a was attempting to run out a ground ball before he pulled up about halfway down the base path and grabbed at his left hamstring.
He was examined by team medical personnel before walking gingerly off the field and back to the Atlanta dugout. There was no immediate update on his condition.
He was replaced by Eli White in right field.
Acu帽a had a leadoff single and scored the Braves鈥� first run on a two-run homer from Drake Baldwin to left field.
After a torn ACL he suffered in May 2024 limited him to a combined 144 games over the past two seasons, the 28-year-old Acu帽a has played in all of Atlanta鈥檚 34 games this season.
The five-time All-Star and 2023 National League MVP is batting .252 this season with two home runs, nine RBIs, 17 runs and a team-high seven stolen bases.
