Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after collapsing on the field with a non-contact injury.
The injury occurred when Acuña took a lead on the base paths from second base. He fell to the turf in obvious pain and grabbed his left leg. He remained on the ground for several moments as trainers attended to him. He was eventually able to leave the field, but did not return to the match.
The nature of his injury was not immediately clear. The Braves described the injury as left knee soreness shortly after he left the game.
Acuña, 26, is a four-time All-Star and the reigning NL MVP.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
