What we thought was just hip tightness when Ronald Acuna Jr. exited the game on Tuesday night ended up being a groin strain for the Atlanta Braves center fielder.
The only good news in all of this is that Brian Snitker seems pretty confident that Acuna will be ready to go for game one of the NLDS.
But after they discussed everything with the doctors it became clear that they didn’t need to push him in what is essentially meaningless games for the Atlanta Braves to end the regular sesaon.
Acuna (sprained left hip) will continue to hit and throw, but he will not play the remainder of the regular season.
