In a concerning moment for the Atlanta Braves, right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left Monday night's game against the Washington Nationals after being hit by pitches twice. The first incident occurred in the fourth inning when Acuña was struck by a fastball from pitcher Jake Irvin, who hit him again in the sixth inning. Following the second hit, Acuña was visibly in pain, leading to his replacement by Eli White. Fortunately, X-rays on Acuña's hand returned negative results, and he is now listed as day-to-day. Despite the scare, the Braves secured a 9-4 victory over the Nationals, marking a strong start to the series.
