Marlins rally comes up short after Braves star Acuña carted off with apparent knee injury

Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. was carted off the field in tears with an apparent right knee injury during Atlanta’s 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday.

Acuña landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping on the warning track in right field to try to catch a drive from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. He slammed into the outfield wall and crumbled on the warning track, immediately grabbing toward his right knee while Chisholm sprinted out an inside-the-park homer.

Acuña tried to walk off but dropped back to the ground in shallow right field.
