When Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. exited Tuesday night's game against the Kansas City Royals, fans were hopeful the slugger's injury might just be a result of the Missouri heat. When it the Braves announced it was Achilles tightness, fans hoped that it was just a cramp that would keep him out a game or two.
Unfortunately, that shred of optimism was completely shot down in the postgame as every subsequent injury update the Braves gave got worse and worse.
Within minutes of the game ending, Atlanta announced Acuña would be heading to the injured list.
