Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. carted off after apparent injury

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was carted off the field during Saturday's game against the Miami Marlins with an apparent injury after jumping for a fly ball at the warning track.

The ball hit by Jazz Chisholm went off the glove of a leaping Acuña in right field, who landed awkwardly on his right leg and immediately fell to the ground, unable to get back up as it went for an inside-the-park home run.

Acuña tried to walk off under his own power but only was able to take a few steps led by the Braves' medical staffers, ultimately needing a cart to exit the field.
