Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. tore his right ACL and will be out for the season after surgery to repair it, the Braves announced late Saturday night.
Atlanta won 5-4 win over Miami on Saturday at loan Depot park to reach .500 on the season, but it was a costly and the .500 record was short lived.
Acuña exited the game in the bottom of the fifth inning after attempting to corral a ball off the bat of Jazz Chisholm Jr., who ended up with an inside-the-park home run on the play.
The Braves went on to lose 7-4 Sunday to fall to 44-45 at the break and 4 games out of first place in the National League East.
