Acu\u00f1a was simply running out a ground ball to second base and pulled up grabbing at his left hamstring. He walked off the field under his own power but he did need help getting down the stairs according to what we saw on the television broadcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We\u2019ll provide more updates as they become available and hopefully it\u2019s not as bad as looks for Acu\u00f1a.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">[UPDATE 11:08 p.m ET]: Walt Weiss talked to the media following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batterypower.com\/atlanta-braves-scores\/130899\/atlanta-braves-vs-rockies-final-score-drake-baldwin-chris-sale-at-coors\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the game<\/a> and stated that Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. will be going for an MRI. He said he was hoping for it to be a cramp but also it\u2019s \u201cnever good\u201d whenever you see a guy going in for an MRI for this sort of thing. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just when it seemed like the Atlanta Braves were starting to turn a corner with injury luck with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620591,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[268979,99],"class_list":["post-620590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-atlanta-braves-injuries","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620590\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620591"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
