Ronald Acuña Jr. left the second game of Monday’s doubleheader in the first inning after he was hit by a pitch from New York’s Tylor Megill. The third pitch of the game hit Acuña up in the left shoulder area. After stumbling away, Acuña went down and appeared to be in a lot of pain. He was attended to by team trainers and left the game.
