Braves All-Star OF Ronald Acuña Jr. leaves game in sixth inning
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- — Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was removed from the game against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday night with tightness in his right Achilles tendon after chasing down a ball in right field in the sixth inning.
Acuña walked off the field before a trainer followed him into the locker room.
Acuña has 15 home runs this season, 26 RBI and is batting .309. He had two homers on Monday night and went 2 for 4.
The five-time All-Star and former Most Valuable Player missed most of last season with a left torn ACL.
