Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. is day-to-day with a left shoulder contusion, according to an announcement by the organization. He was removed during the first inning of the team's game against the New York Mets.
Acuña was hit in the shoulder by a 93 mph fastball from Tyler Megill in the first at-bat of the game, immediately sank to the ground and eventually received medical attention from the athletic trainers.
He underwent imaging after the game, but the results revealed no fracture.
The injury occurred in the second half of a doubleheader and came after he had an incredible performance in the first game.
