Atlanta Braves Voltueur Ronald Acuna Jr returns to the injured list and admits that he is “worried” after suffering an Achilles injury during last night against the Kansas City Royals.
The Quintuple All-Star, Acuna, missed most of last season and the start of this with a torn left ACL, but had returned with a blow, reaching 0.306 with 14 circuits and 26 points produced in 55 games.
He will not play in the predictable future, however, after having tested a waterproofing in his right Achilles while pursuing a bullet in the right field.
Acuna did not want to take a day off
Acuna later admitted that it was a concern and revealed that he had first felt the problem to operate the bases on Monday.
“It was even worse,” said Acuna after the defeat of 9-6 on Tuesday. “I was in a way hoping that they would not hit him, and of course, whenever you do, they always hit him in your own way.
“I told them yesterday, and everyone said,” Take the day if you want, you can have the day off. “
“I have already missed so much time through injuries, I didn’t want to run out of time anymore.
“They will examine me tomorrow, so we will see how it goes.
“I am worried. It’s no more pain, I feel it a lot when I try to put pressure on it. ”
Hopefully Capa will come back in 10 days – Snitker
This is the last blow for a brave team that has drink to a record of 45-61 and 16 games behind the New York dishes in the East National League.
Manager Brian Snitker said, “It’s a thing of Achilles, it will take some time. He will go on Il, and I hope that in about 10 days, it will emerge.
“I was worried that it was oblique in the way he reacted there. I don’t know, it’s just one of those things, you just have to face it. It’s not fun to do it, not easy to face it, but you just have to do it. ”
