Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. was benched during Sunday's victory against the Dodgers after he stood at the plate admiring a long flyball that did not leave the park.
Acuña, 21, was pulled before the fifth inning after failing to run out a drive off the right field wall in the third. The ball bounced off the wall for a long single, but Acuña likely would have had an easy double if he had hustled from home plate.
Manager Brian Snitker followed Acuña into the tunnel for a conversation during the fourth inning before Adam Duvall entered the game in left field in the fifth, with Rafael Ortega moving from left to center field.
