Braves right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. left Saturday's 9-1 win over the host Colorado Rockies with left hamstring tightness and will have an MRI, Atlanta manager Walt Weiss told reporters after the game.

Acuna grabbed at his hamstring and pulled up when attempting to run out a grounder he hit in the second inning in Denver. He limped off the field under his own power after being examined by the team's medical staff.

The 2023 National League MVP, Acuna is hitting .252 with two homers and nine RBIs in 34 games. He led off the game with a single and scored when Drake Baldwin followed with a home run.

Acuna was replaced in right field by Eli White, who is hitting .196 with two homers and eight RBIs in 20 games.
