<p>Acuña was hit on his left hand by a 98 mph fastball from Sam Coonrod in the seventh inning. The pitch appeared to hit Acuña’s little finger on the bottom of the bat. </p>
<p>Acuña fell back, holding his hand in obvious pain. He was immediately escorted off the field.</p>
<p>There was no immediate update from the Braves on Acuña’s injury. He missed two games in April with a mild abdominal strain and is hitting .313.</p>
