MLB: Atlanta Braves at Philadelphia Phillies Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports

Ronald Acuña Jr. left Sunday’s game in the seventh inning after a collision at second base with Phillies shortstop Jean Segura. Acuña singled to extend his consecutive games of reaching base streak to 32 straight. He then stole his 24th base of the season but slid into Segura’s knee with his shoulder and neck area.

Segura would end up leaving the game while Acuña stayed in the game to run the bases. However, he would exit between innings with what the team is calling neck stiffness.
