Preliminary tests indicate a positive prognosis for injured Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. Atlanta Braves right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. left Tuesday's game against the Kansas CIty Royals and is already on the injured list. But he appears to have avoided a serious injury.

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.

Kansas native Joey Wentz got a standing ovation Wednesday from about 20 family members, hundreds of traveling Braves fans and some of his old pals and high school coach, some seated behind the visiting dugout as he exited after pitching 6 2/3 scoreless innings against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
