Atlanta Braves All-Star Ronald Acuña Jr. left Monday’s game against the Nationals after being hit on the left hand by a fastball from Jake Irvin in the sixth inning. Although he was able to reach first base and score during a five-run rally, Acuña did not return to the field and was replaced by Eli White. Initial X-rays were negative, and Acuña is considered day-to-day, raising concerns due to his history of injuries. The Braves won the game 9-4, maintaining a five-game lead in the NL East.
