Braves right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. left Saturday’s game at ​the Colorado Rockies ‌with left hamstring tightness.

Acuna grabbed at his hamstring and pulled up when attempting ‌to ​run out ⁠a grounder he ⁠hit in the second inning in Denver. He limped off the ​field under his own power after being ⁠examined by ⁠the team’s medical ​staff.

The 2023 National League MVP, ​Acuna entered the day ‌hitting .248 with two homers and nine RBIs in 33 games. He ⁠led off the game with a single and scored ⁠when ‌Drake Baldwin followed ⁠with a home ​run.

Acuna ‌was replaced in right ​field ⁠by Eli White, who is hitting .186 with two homers and seven RBIs in 19 games.
