Ronald Acuna, Jr. was hit on his left elbow by a pitch from Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Colin Holderman in the sixth inning Tuesday night and left the Atlanta Braves' 8-6 victory.

Two innings later, the club announced that X-rays on Acuna's elbow were negative. He is considered day-to-day.

"I'm sure it stung him pretty good, and he lost feeling in the arm," Brian Snitker said. "I'm just glad nothing showed up (on the X-rays). I'd rather not take any chances on it by leaving him in the game and just let him go get treatment and see how he feels (Wednesday)."

Acuna is batting .339 in 111 games and leads the majors with 53 stolen bases.
