Star outfielder Ronald Acuna had to leave the Braves' game in Washington, D.C., against the Nationals in the fourth inning Friday night after fouling a ball off his left foot.
Less than an hour after Acuna left the game, the Braves said X-rays revealed no fracture. Acuna's status is day-to-day, the team said.
Acuna, clearly in pain, fell to the ground as the ball struck him. He was helped off the field and down the dugout steps by Braves manager Brian Snitker and a trainer. Acuna wasn't putting weight on his left foot.
He was taken to the Braves' clubhouse at Nationals Park in Washington for examination of the injury.
The Nationals wound up edging the Braves, 8-7, on Michael Taylor's walk-off single in the 12th inning.
Acuna, 22, has missed time previously this season with wrist and hamstring injuries. He has a .280 batting average with 11 home runs, 22 RBIs and a team-leading 1.088 OPS in 32 games.
