Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. had to leave Sunday’s game in Boston early after hyperextending his left knee. He was hustling down the line and beat out an infield single right before his knee gave out as he was slowing down.
Here is what happened to Ronald Acuña Jr.
He was able to walk off the field.

That’s not what you want to see happen to your young star if you’re the Braves. Acuna Jr. was somehow able to walk off the field under his own power.

The fact that he was able to walk off under his own power is hopefully a good sign, because it didn’t look good when he went down.
