Acuña Jr. Day‑to‑Day After Two Hit‑by‑Pitches

Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left Monday night’s game early after being hit twice by a pitch and is now day‑to‑day.

During the Braves’ 9-4 win over the Nationals, Acuña was struck twice by fastballs from Jake Irvin, first in the fourth and again in the sixth. X‑rays of his hand were negative, but the Braves have listed him as day‑to‑day as he recovers from the impact. amunra.qpon
