Acuna left Thursday’s game after fouling a ball off of his knee. Initially, he tried to continue playing, but the Braves decided to be cautious and removed Acuna from the game. It has been a rough week for Acuna, who also had to leave the second game of a doubleheader earlier this week after taking a fastball to his back shoulder.
