Ronald Acuña Jr. exits game with apparent leg ailment
· Yahoo Sports
Ah, jeez. The frustrations continue for Ronald Acuña Jr. and his wheels, as he had to exit Tuesday’s game against the Chicago White Sox with an apparent lower leg injury.
With one out in the top of the fourth inning, Acuña hit a ground ball deep to the left side of the infield. Chicago third baseman Miguel Vargas’ throw bounced to first and just barely beat Acuña but that happened after Acuña started to limp once he got close to first base. Acuña appeared visibly frustrated as he was taking off his batting gloves and limped off the field and into the visitors’ clubhouse. Acuña was replaced by Eli White in the outfield.

We’ll have more on the situation as it develops but for now, it’s once again time to cross our fingers and hope that this isn’t on the more severe side of injuries for the star outfielder. We’ll see what happens.
UPDATE [9:54 p.m. ET]: The Braves have reported that Acuña is dealing with “left hamstring tightness” and yes, that’s the same hamstring that he strained just over a month ago. Hopefully this is more of the “day-to-day” variety and not anything more serious than that.
