Ronald Acuña Jr. injury update allows Braves' dreams to live to see another day

Word that Ronald Acuña Jr. was dealing with an Achilles' tendon injury after leaving Tuesday's game rocked Atlanta Braves fans who just want some source of happiness at this point. While Acuña Jr. was able to jog off the field under his own power, the image of Acuña Jr. in a walking boot was the stuff of nightmares and had fans fearing the worst (as well as being royally pissed at the Braves for letting him play at all).

The Braves made Acuña Jr. going to the injured list official earlier on Wednesday morning, but we hadn't yet gotten word as to how severe his injury was.
