LEADING OFF: Braves await tests on Acuña, MLB draft starts

A look at what’s happening around the majors on Sunday:

ANXIOUS ABOUT ACUÑA

Atlanta is awaiting test results after All-Star outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was carted off the field in tears Saturday with a right knee injury.

Acuña landed awkwardly after jumping on the warning track in right field trying to catch a drive from Miami’s Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. He slammed into the outfield wall and crumbled on the warning track, immediately grabbing his right knee while Chisholm sprinted out an inside-the-park homer.

Acuña tried to walk off but dropped back to the ground in shallow right field.
