The Atlanta Braves have been slowly recovering from a flurry of injury woes, but took a major loss to the rotation on Saturday against the Colorado Rockies.
As outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was running to first base after hitting a grounder, he stopped after a few steps and began limping.

He went on to leave the game before the Braves announced on social media that Acuna was ruled out due to left hamstring tightness.
While he was able to walk off the field on his own, he appeared to need help using the stairs. Acuna has already had two separate ACL surgeries and has battled a number of injuries over the last several seasons.
These injuries have hampered his performance on the field this year, but the Braves have still had a lot of success. They sit at 23-10 on the season, so they could be an even bigger threat if Acuna can get fully healthy.
No further updates or timelines on the injury have been released.
