This disastrous Atlanta Braves season got a little worse Tuesday night. Outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. exited Atlanta's loss to the Kansas City Royals (KC 9, ATL 6) after complaining of right Achilles tightness and was placed on the injured list Wednesday with a Grade 1 calf strain.

Acuna could return within the next two-to-three weeks, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. However, it's worth noting that Acuna, who plays as hard as any player in the majors, has a serious injury history. He has suffered two season-ending ACL tears, one in his right knee in 2021 and the left knee this past season.
