Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Atlanta Braves star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was removed from Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers after failing to hustle during a long fly ball.
Braves manager Brian Snitker pulled Acuna, who thought he hit his 36th home run of the season, before the fifth inning after he stood at home plate and watched a deep drive off the right field wall in the third. The 21-year-old All-Star likely could have recorded a double but admired the fly ball instead of hustling from home plate, resulting in a single.
