Braves News: Ronald Acuña Jr. suffers injury, Jesse Chavez rehabbing, and more

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. exited Friday night’s game after suffering a calf injury. After an awkward run out of the batter’s box, Acuña began to feel discomfort and was removed in the same inning. His exit, however, was just a precaution.
