Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. exited Tuesday's game at the Chicago White Sox in the fourth inning after sustaining an apparent left leg injury.
The team later described Acuna's ailment as hamstring tightness.
While attempting to leg out an infield single, Acuna pulled up and hobbled past first base and then off the field into the locker room after appearing to sustain the injury on his final step before reaching the bag.
He was replaced in right field and atop the lineup by Eli White.
Acuna, the 2018 National League Rookie of the Year and 2023 NL MVP, missed 14 games earlier this season due to a hamstring strain while similarly trying to leg out an infield hit. He saw his 2021 and 2024 seasons end prematurely due to torn ACLs.
The five-time All-Star entered the day hitting .254 with seven homers and 22 RBIs in 52 games. He's a career .287 hitter with 193 homers and 481 RBIs over 869 games across nine seasons with Atlanta.
