Braves' Ozzie Albies fouls ball off knee, leaves game

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies left Tuesday's game against the host Los Angeles Dodgers in the fifth inning after he fouled a ball off the side of his left knee.

Albies immediately went to the ground after hitting the pitch from Dodgers' right-hander Walker Buehler off the knee where it meets the calf muscle. After a visit from two trainers, as well as manager Brian Snitker, he was carried off the field.

Ehire Adrianza finished off the at-bat for Albies and grounded out to first base.

The injury is of extra concern for the Braves, who already lost outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr.
