The Atlanta Braves and superstar outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. appeared to have dodged a major injury scare, as the news on his Achilles has turned up positively, at least in the early going.

Acuna told reporters he will likely have an MRI on Wednesday. The right fielder was lifted during the bottom of the sixth inning at Kauffman Stadium, shortly after he appeared to be hampered trying to get to a pair of balls hit in the air.
