<p>ATLANTA &mdash; Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. has left Thursday’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays with an apparent left ankle injury.</p>
<p>Acuña, who led off the game with his 12th homer, the most in the major leagues, suffered the injury when trying to beat out a grounder to third base in the seventh.</p>
<p>Acuña was initially called safe before a review overturned the call. He hopped down the right field line before collapsing onto the outfield grass. After being checked by a trainer on the field, Acuña was able to walk back to the dugout.</p>
<p>Acuña was the second Braves outfielder to leave the game. Cristian Pache left the game with right hamstring tightness. Pache also was hurt trying to run out a grounder in the second inning.</p>
<p>The Braves had no immediate announcement on Acuña’s injury.</p>
