Braves’ Acuna carted off after awkward landing

MLB

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. was carted off after injuring his knee while attempting to make a leaping catch on the right field warning track during Saturday’s game against the Miami Marlins.

The 23-year-old Acuna, who was selected as a National League starter for the All-Star Game, attempted to limp off with trainers but stopped halfway to the dugout and the cart was brought on to take him off.

Acuna was visibly emotional and in pain as he was taken off the field and then carried off the cart and into the clubhouse.

He has a .281 batting average with 24 home runs and 52 RBIs this season for the Braves. His .985 OPS ranks fourth in the majors this season.
