Braves' Acuna suffers apparent injury to left knee

Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. limped off the field in the top of the first inning Sunday after suffering an apparent injury to his left knee.

Acuna, who doubled to lead off the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, fell to the ground with the noncontact injury as he was taking a lead from second base.

The reigning National League MVP has struggled this season, hitting .246 with four home runs and 15 RBIs in 48 games.
