Acuña Jr. Exits Braves Game After Fouling Ball Off Knee, Team Sweeps Marlins

  • Ronald Acuña Jr. was removed from Thursday's game against the Miami Marlins as a precautionary measure after fouling a ball off his left knee.
  • Acuña finished the at-bat and returned to the field before being replaced, just three days after leaving a game with a bruised shoulder.
  • The Braves went on to sweep the three-game series against the Marlins with a 6-3 win.
  • Marcell Ozuna homered for the third time in two games and drove in six runs over that span.
  • Acuña is "fine" but was having trouble bending his knee, so the team wanted to get him treatment right away.
