Star Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was scheduled for an MRI after exiting Atlanta's Tuesday road game against the Chicago White Sox in the fourth inning due to left hamstring tightness.

Following the Braves' 6-5, 10-inning loss, Atlanta manager Walt Weiss said the ailment 'doesn't seem as bad as the last one,' referring to a left hamstring strain that kept Acuna out for 15 games in May.

Weiss added that Acuna is considered day-to-day for the moment.

While attempting to leg out an infield single, Acuna pulled up and hobbled past first base and then off the field into the locker room after appearing to sustain the injury on his final step before reaching the bag.

He was replaced in right field and atop the lineup by Eli White.

Acuna, the 2018 National League Rookie of the Year and 2023 NL MVP, missed 14 games earlier this season due to a hamstring strain while similarly trying to leg out an infield hit. He saw his 2021 and 2024 seasons end prematurely due to torn ACLs.

The five-time All-Star is hitting .251 with seven homers and 22 RBIs in 53 games. He is a career .287 hitter with 193 homers and 481 RBIs over 870 games across nine seasons with Atlanta.
