Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Pirates after collapsing on the field with a non-contact knee injury.
The injury took place as 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 while being tended to by trainers. He was eventually able to walk off the field, but he did not return to the game.
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.
