Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. exited Tuesday night’s game against the host Pittsburgh Pirates after being hit by a pitch in the sixth inning.
Acuna took a 97-mph sinker off the elbow from Pirates right-hander Colin Holderman. A trainer came out to tend to Acuna, but he didn’t end up staying in the game, and pinch runner Forrest Wall took his place.
Prior to leaving, Acuna went 1-for-3. He led off the game with a home run, his 26th of the season.
Acuna entered Tuesday batting .339 with 25 homers, 67 RBIs and a major-league-leading 53 stolen bases.
A four-time All-Star, Acuna is in his sixth season with the Braves.
