Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left tonight’s game in the top of the fourth after coming up limp following a sprint to first.

The Venezuelan dealt with a hamstring strain injury in early May; the injury also occurred during a sprint to first.

Thumb pain later in the same month saw him moved to DH as a precautionary measure to avoid injury.

He has struggled to find himself at the plate this season, slashing just .254/.373 /.425, well below his career average.

No word has come out yet about the extensiveness or severity of the injury.

As for Braves fans, this injury to Acuña Jr. is a damper on what has been, to this point, a phenomenal season.
