Ronald Acuña Jr. has exited Saturday night’s game against the Colorado Rockies with what appears to be a left hamstring issue. Acuña was simply running out a ground ball to second base and pulled up grabbing at his left hamstring.
He walked off the field under his own power but he did need help getting down the stairs according to what we saw on the television broadcast. OF Ronald Acuña Jr. was removed from tonight’s game with left hamstring tightness.
