Ronald Acura Jr. Carted off the field after injury

Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr.was carted off with an apparent right leg injury after landing awkwardly while attempting to make a leaping catch on the right field warning track during Saturday's game against Miami.

The 23-year-old Acuna, who was selected as a National League starter for the All-Star Game, jumped on the warning track in right field to try to catch a drive in the fifth inning. He slammed into the outfield wall and crumbled on the warning track, immediately grabbing toward his right knee while Jazz Chisholm sprinted out an inside-the-park homer.

Acuna was visibly emotional and in pain as he had to be helped to the cart and did not put any weight on his right leg. After he was taken off the field, Acuna was carried off the cart and into the clubhouse.
