It appears that the Atlanta Braves may have an injury to worry about. In Saturday’s game against the Colorado Rockies, while being up 3-0 in the top of the second inning, Ronald Acuña Jr. grounded out, and wasn’t looking 100% while running it out.
Atlanta has MLB’s best record, and Ronald Acuña Jr., despite not being off to the best start, is the obvious spark plug for the Braves’ lineup.
CBSSports wrote (on May 2):
“Acuna came out limping out of the batters box after a groundball out in the second inning and was taken out of the game shortly after. Atlanta should have another update on the superstar outfielder’s hamstring during or shortly after Saturday’s game once he undergoes further tests on the injury. Eli White is in at right field following Acuna’s exit.”

The Atlanta Braves are looking like strong favorites to win another series, which would keep their streak alive with consecutive series without dropping two or more games.

“#Braves Ronald Acuña Jr. left the game with a leg injury. He grabs at his hamstring almost as soon as he leaves the box.”
