On Wednesday, the Atlanta Braves said they will provide an update on Ronald Acuna Jr.’s injured knee, which is undergoing more tests.
Let’s start over as the Braves and Acuna Jr. have had a precarious few day.
1) The team wasn’t overly concerned when Acuna Jr. was forced out of a spring training game late last week due to knee soreness.
2) Acuna Jr. was transported to Los Angeles for testing on Saturday, but there was still no cause for concern.
3) Team executives expressed alarm in a Sunday article written by Bob Nightengale of USA Today, and that’s where things are right now.
At age 26, Acuna Jr. is already among baseball’s top players. Already, he has won MVP, Rookie of the Year, three Silver Sluggers, and four All-Star selections. He was also on the Braves’ roster for the 2021 World Series, but he was unable to participate in any games.
Acuna Jr., who hit.337 with 41 home runs and 73 stolen bases, is coming off one of his greatest seasons ever. In addition, he had an on-base percentage of.416.
He is a.292 hitter with 161 home runs and 180 stolen bases in his career. In 2023, he played a major role in the Braves’ second consecutive National League East championship, which they will defend in 2024.
