With a rash of injuries to his starting rotation, Royals manager Matt Quatraro put together a plan to rely exclusively on his bullpen when Kansas City played the Atlanta Braves in their series finale on Wednesday.

With injuries taking a toll on their starting rotation, the Royals tied a big league record by using nine total pitchers in a 10-inning shutout victory over the Braves.

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna Jr. received an update on his injury timetable on Wednesday, avoiding a worst case scenario.

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.

The Atlanta Braves have placed Ronald Acuña Jr. on the 10-day injured list because of right Achilles tendon inflammation. The severity of the injury is still unclear.
