Ronald Acuna Jr. Leaves Game 2 Early After Being Hit By Pitch
2 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (shoulder) departed Game 2 of a doubleheader early against the New York Mets after getting drilled in the left shoulder by a pitch in his first at-bat. Acuna crumpled to the ground and was evaluated by the team's trainers. Kevin Pillar replaced Acuna as a pinch-hitter and will likely remain in the game in right field. It remains to be seen how serious the 25-year-old's injury is, but fantasy managers should at least expect him to miss Tuesday's game. He went 3-for-5 with a home run, double and two runs scored in the 9-8 win in Game 1, so at least he produced for fantasy managers on Monday before leaving Game 2. Check back for more updates on Acuna's shoulder after the second game of the twin bill concludes.
