Ronald Acuña Jr. left Atlanta's game against the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night after fouling a ball off his left leg in the third inning. He sustained a left shin contusion and has been listed as day-to-day.
Per ESPN, X-rays on Acuña's leg came back negative. One source noted the ball struck an area of his lower leg not protected by padding, and that Acuña was in obvious pain following the play.
The injury comes with the Braves' first playoff series set to begin next week, per Yahoo Sports' reporting. Multiple outlets characterized the timing as concerning for Atlanta.
