Ronald Acuna Jr. hit by pitch, day-to-day with left pinkie finger contusion
ATLANTA — Ronald Acuna Jr. suffered a left pinkie finger contusion after being hit by a pitch in Saturday night’s 8-7 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He is listed as day-to-day.
Acuna, who shares the major league lead with 10 home runs, was hit on his left hand by a 98 mph fastball from Sam Coonrod in the seventh inning. The pitch appeared to hit Acuna’s little finger on the bottom of the bat.
Acuna fell back, holding the hand in obvious pain. He was immediately escorted off the field.
X-rays were negative on the finger, the Braves announced shortly after.
