Overview

  • Atlanta said Ronald Acuña Jr. left in the second inning Saturday in Denver with left hamstring tightness.
  • He pulled up midway down the first-base line on a grounder and grabbed at his left hamstring before a check by team staff.
  • He walked off the field under his own power and returned to the dugout.
  • Eli White took over in right field after Acuña exited.
  • The 2023 NL MVP had appeared in all 34 games this season and was hitting .252 with two home runs, nine RBIs, 17 runs and seven steals after a May 2024 ACL tear limited his past two years.
