Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. suffers injury scare in Venezuelan Winter League game

After a historic NL MVP season, Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. has taken his talents to the Venezuelan Winter League. While Acuna is using the experience as a way to prepare, a recent inside pitch certainly gave the Braves a scare.

Playing for the Tiburones de la Guaira, Acuna was hit on the wrist by a pitch during a Thursday night matchup, via Ben Verlander of Fox Sports. There's no word on if the HBP left any lasting injury.
