Ronald Acuña Jr. Health, Injury Updates & History

Atlanta has been hesitant to place any timeline on Acuna's return from left ACL surgery, however he hopes to make his season debut for Atlanta in early to mid-May

Exited the Pirates-Braves game in the first inning due to left knee soreness. An MRI confirmed a complete left knee ACL tear meaning he will need surgery and miss the remainder of the 2024 season.

Exited the Pirates-Braves game in the first inning due to left knee soreness, as reported by the team, according to video analysis conducted by our panel of Pro Baseball Docs there is concern for a left meniscus tear or possible patella subluxation, thankfully it is not the dreaded ACL tear which he previously suffered in his right knee in 2021, as a result of this injury he is expected to miss an extended period with a 10-day IL placement incoming, if the injury requires surgery (a scope) a move to the 60-day IL would be considered

On track to make opening day roster despite “irritation” in meniscus of surgically repaired right knee - our panel of docs have concerns about his durability this season and he may require a meniscus trim surgery to be healthy for the end of the season

Was forced to leave the Braves contest 8/9 after taking 97 mph sinker off the left elbow, hit on “Barry Bonds” pad - likely hurt more than injured with a high chance he endures a short term absence if one at all, juicy fantasy matchup for Acuna if he indeed suits up as the Braves face the Pirates for the next two days

Playing well in second year back from right knee ACL tear - optimism from Pro Baseball Docs is paying off
