On Tuesday night, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left the game after being hit on the left elbow by a pitch. The Braves were playing the Miami Marlins when Acuña was hit in the fourth inning. Fortunately, X-rays taken after the game came back negative, and the Braves are optimistic that Acuña will be able to return to the lineup soon.
Acuña has been one of the Braves’ most important players this season. He is batting .281 with 11 home runs and 28 RBIs. He has also stolen 10 bases and scored 30 runs. Acuña has been a key part of the Braves’ success this season, and his absence could have a significant impact on the team’s performance.
The Braves have not yet announced a timetable for Acuña’s return, but they are hopeful that he will be able to return to the lineup soon. In the meantime, they will rely on other players to fill the void left by Acuña’s absence. The team is confident that they have the depth to weather this injury and remain competitive in the National League East.
It is always concerning when a player is hit by a pitch, but it is a relief that Acuña’s X-rays came back negative. The Braves will be monitoring his progress closely and hoping for a speedy recovery.
