Per MLB.com's Mark Bowman, Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. is going on the injured list after dealing with tightness in his right Achilles against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday. Bowman added that Acuña was wearing a walking boot after exiting the game.

Acuña left Tuesday's game with Achilles soreness, another blow in a season full of injuries for the battered Braves star.

Acuña exited Tuesday's game in the sixth inning after chasing after a foul ball along the line and a double into the gap by back-to-back batters. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, albeit gingerly, which is nonetheless encouraging. Walking with a significant Achilles injury is pretty much impossible.
