By: Stan Son

UPDATE: X-rays were negative and Acuna is day-to-day.


In the bottom of the sixth inning of Thursday’s game against the Miami Marlins, Ronald Acuna Jr. was replaced by Eli White. He may have injured his left hand, but nothing has been confirmed yet. There’s also been no mention of when or how the injury occurred.

Before exiting, Acuna went 2-for-3 with a run and two RBI.

Acuna is not eligible for DraftKings Early Exit.

Stay tuned to DK Network for live updates on his injury status.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
